Memory Leak and caching

Hello:

I have an IIS 5.0 server (W2K sp2) server that has been locking up due to a
memory leak. I know that IIS caches a lot of data and the TTL on the cache
is 24 hours. To troubleshoot this I want to reduce the TTL to 12 hours and
see if that help it at all. I have been trying to chase the problem but so
far I am hitting one dead end after another.

Does anyone know where to change this or any ideas on how to chase this
down?

Generally speaking, a memory leak will cause a crash, not a hang.

A few recommendations:
1) Install the latest Win2k Service Pack (4) + security updates. This will
update a lot of COM+ dlls.
2) Install the latest MDAC (2. or 2.7SP1 (www.microsoft.com/data). There
was a known memory leak in 2.7 that was fixed in SP1.

Next time it hangs, run IISState against the process that is hosting your
ASP pages (www.iisfaq.com/iisstate). If you need help reading the log, you
can post it to the newsgroup.
