Solution 1

You can have multiple configs.
But you can add only one web.config file per folder in your application.

Solution 2

You can't have multiple web.config files for root folder, you need to create separate folder for each web.config file.

You might want to look following links:
One[^]

Two[^]

Hope these links prove to be helpful for you. :)

Web.config should be only one for each virtual directory. Even if you place multiple web.config in one folder, ConfigurationManager will only parse the file Web.config. Others you need to read it manually.

Have a look at these links to have multiple config file:
Include Multiple .Config Files in ASP.NET Web Application[^]
Using multiple config files in one application[^]
