The screeching halt was iHub's webserver being rebooted. iHub's webserver holds SI's DNS records. Doesn't seem to be overloading it, though. I didn't witness the last crash, but Matt said CPU utilization spiked on the webserver right before it crashed. I hadn't seen it do that before.

The problems with iHub's webserver are really puzzling. What happens is that ASP will suddenly stop working, throwing an ASP_0147 error. The times I've watched it happen, connection count was normal, as was CPU utilization.

There's little available on the web about this problem. And unfortunately, one discussion of it I found this morning said it didn't start happening until they upgraded to Win2003/IIS6.0, which is an upgrade I've been planning as a possible way to fix the problem.

Matt loaded a test page of straight HTML right after the crash and it loaded fine, confirming it was strictly ASP that wasn't working and that the webserver itself was working. DNS also continues to work. Until the machine is being booted.
