I would add an Alias for /faculty that points to the physical directory
and then a symbolic link in .....Web/Main called 'faculty' that points
at the physical directory where all the faculty stuff is in. This way
apache will find the files and mod-mono-server too and you don't need to
enable following symbolic links in apache.
