Routing on IIS servers via .htaccess

I suspect i already know the answer to this or more accurately no answer to it.
I run two servers in the office, one LInux and one Windows server 2012 dataserver running IIS 8 with PHP installed

So here is the configuration issue

I need to develop for a Linux PHP target but develop on the IIS 8.

All works ok except routing for obvious reasons.

Obviously it is a pain to have to import rules over to iis from the htaccess manually. Anyone know of a way of getting IIS to automatically import them or better actually obey them?

Hoping someone out there may know of some clever server patch that may help
