EEK! I use ISAPI and not on IIS. I use Sambar Server (which is defunct
and doesn't support FastCGI - just plain CGI).

Why can't it remain. It works for me very well. Admittedly I'm only
serving about 100 users 24/7 (utilises with COM for Crystal Reports,
MS Word/Excel file production, PDF production, etc.).


Once of the benefits of using ISAPI over CGI was the persistence of
database connections. Is there any advantage to this now? Does FastCGI
this in some way?
