Alan,
    Just out of pure curiosity, and utter hatred for IIS...why, may I ask,
are you using it? What can a Microsoft product do that FreeBSD / RedHat
can't?

  I understand if it's a client that is just picky about what is used, but I
think that it would be better in the long run to not waste time with Windows
2000 / IIS and just use something you're familiar with.

    However, I do have experience with IIS and high-load websites, there
isn't too much you can do to tweak the speed, or anything like that... It's
pretty..."bland". PHP works under Windows, and IIS just fine (not as well as
*nix, I, personally think -- but that's me)

    As for the ISAPI modules, why even use them? Why not write it all in
PHP? Personally, I think that PHP is better then perl/cgi. Let us know what
this module does, and perhaps we can help you to port it over to a PHP
script.

    What bugs are you encountering? Give us the errors, and the code -- I'll
try and help you.

Good luck.
