Configure IIS 6.0 to serve all file extensions, even unknown ones

Question

I have a problem with IIS: if I ask an unknown file extension, such as .flv, it doesn't serve it and displays "page not found".
I can configure it in the Mime Types, but I want to be able to specify a wildcard, like in IIS 7, where I can allow all types under "Request Filtering".

Is it possible?
Thanks!

Have you already tried using an asterisk (*) in the Extension box for a new MIME type?

Thanks! That did the trick (extension: .*, mime type: application/octet-stream) – Nir Feb 16 '11 at 07:48
