Greetings,
I encountered the nasty shortcoming of there being no "Map Channel Names to
Host Headers" option in the Standard Edition of CMS. To work around this, I
found ISAPI_REWRITE to be a very handy tool.
Download it here:

In your httpd.ini file, put the following commands in (based upon their
samples):
RewriteCond Host: (.*)
RewriteRule ([^.?]+[^.?/]) http\://$1$2/ [I,R]
RewriteCond Host: (?:subdomain\.)?domain\.extension
RewriteRule /workingChannel(.*) http\://subdomain.domain.extension$1 [I,R]
RewriteRule (.*) /workingChannel$1 [I,L]
This will essentially emulate the functionality of the enterprise edition
function.
I would be curious about ways to improve this method.
