Re: server admin resources and question

Late to the party but just a thought.

Would the directory work if was not defined as a virtual directory.  My not
be the fix but worth a try.

Two thoughts about IIS and Apache.

I will assume Apache is on Unix/Linux, while IIS x.x is on an NT platform.
That said, do some research on the up time of these two platforms.  I think
you will find that NT needs at least a weekly reboot.  Some progress with
Win2k but not there yet.  If your situation moves you into the
multi-processor arena, I think you will find that Unix/Linux makes better
use of this as well.  And last but not least, ever try to firewall an n-tier
environment built with NT.  Forget mapped drives, domains, etc.  They
require that ports 137, 138 and 139 be opened.  These are a hackers dream.

Win2k and future products are moving away from this.   Maybe someday they
will get there.

BTW, I make my living on NT products.
