The only way AFAIK is to keep them in different folders - each folder can have it's own web.config, and the settings are inherited downward where not overridden in the new.
This is normally used to restrict access to authorized persons:
default.aspx and Logon.aspx ate in the root
pages which need logged in users are in sub directories.

You can not use multiple web.config files directly in single application.
If your application contains folders then you can use one web.config file for each folder along with web.config file in application.

K thx Salini.P if i have 2 or more web.config files in my application in some cases i want to assign a particular web.config file for Default.aspx, where can i change the code to take effect of changing the path of web.config files

We will use multiple web.config files in a application only when the application contains some pages which need authentication.

If that is your case then place all your secured pages in one folder,add a web.config file to that folder and then use forms authentication to authenticate users.
