title: Increase size of web.config file without changing registry key
body: <p>I want to increase size of web.config file from 250KB without changing the registry key. I'm running a Windows Azure Website, so I can't change the registry key (correct me if I'm wrong).  </p>
  
  <p>I've already split up the main web.config file using <code>configSource</code> on <code>ipSecurity</code> (the reason for the size of the file is a large list of IP addresses.)</p>
  
  <p>QUESTION ONE: </p>
  
  <p>Does splitting up the web.config file get around the 250KB limit, or do all the bits added together have to be less than or equal to 250KB. If the former is true, is it possible to split <code>ipSecurity</code> into smaller chunks?</p>
  
  <p>QUESTION TWO:</p>
  
  <p>The size of the file containing the contents of <code>ipSecurity</code> is 536KB. It contains about 9100 IP address ranges. What are the impacts of having a web.config file this big?</p>
  
  <p>QUESTION THREE:</p>
  
  <p>How does one increase size of web.config file from 250KB without changing the registry key?</p>
  
  <p>QUESTION FOUR:</p>
  
  <p>Is there a simpler way to allow or deny access to a country for a Windows Azure Website than a large web.config file of IP address ranges?</p>
