Web site/Application pool freeze

I did some searching on here and couldn't find a post for
a similar problem.

We have a Windows 2003 IIS 6.0 server running perhaps 20
web sites, with the main site configured to run in its
own application pool. Periodically this main site will
stop responding, and the site and application pool have
to be restarted. When the main site is locked up, the
other sites still function normally. This is the same as
it was before putting the main site in its own
application pool.

The site that is locking up is
running .asp, .aspx, .shtml, and javascript pages. There
are quite a few pages that connect to MS SQL Server and a
few that connect to an Access database. Initially, I
thought the problem could be that connections were not
getting closed, and enough being open caused the freezes.
Looking through the code, I did find a handful of
older .asp pages that were not explicitly closing the
connections. However, the problem with the freezing has
reoccurred several times since then.

When the site locks up, there is nothing in the log file
indicating any problems - it just stops.

Thank you in advance for any help.

You can use IISState to verify:
