Windows HTTP servers FastCGI compatible

I'm looking for a http server that is also FastCGI compatible and, I 
wonder if you members from this list could tell us your opinion about 
the one(s) you use out there.

My requirements are :

- FastCGI compatible is essential, of course.
- As for FastCGI, it would be nice if it keeps the connections with the 
FastCGI server. That is, if it has some sort of "keep-alive" between the 
http server itself and the external FastCGI server. This is not 
essential but desired.
- SSL IS A MUST. Better if it's based on OpenSSL support.
- Needs to be fast, reliable and secure, capable of dealing with 
approximately 300 K requests (hits) per day. Therefore, a professional 
demand.
- Server (PROduction side) is a W2K machine but it would be nice to be 
able to run it on XP as well, for test and development purposes. Running 
on Linux would be nice but this is not a must. Rather, got to run 
perfectly fine on Windows.
- It is almost a must to have something like X-SENDFILE from Lighty 
(http://blog.lighttpd.net/articles/2006/07/02/x-sendfile) or 
mod_xsendfile from Apache 
(http://celebnamer.celebworld.ws/stuff/mod_xsendfile/).

The ones I've seen (and tested superficially) so far are :

- Apache - seems too complicated (heavy) and not well suited for Windows 
but, it's my "least worst" choice.
- Lighty - http://lighttpd.net, seems very good but does not even have a 
Windows version yet. IOW, not Windows mature.
- IIS - people say that version 5, which also runs on XP, is very, very 
bad regarded to security. Version 6 would oblige me to upgrade my server 
to Windows 2003, what would cost me something. Also, version 6 will not 
run on Windows XP.
- Abyss - (http://www.aprelium.com/) seems very nice but doesnt have SSL 
yet.

After all, can U tell us what do you use ?

As for leaving Windows, well, I cant (no, I'm not a M$ stock owner, just 
in case you may be thinking that - I've sold mine !).

Thank you so much !
