IIS cache ??

Hi!

On a coorporate website (soon to be launched) we are running Windows Server 2003 std. ed. with IIS6 and SQL Server 2000 std. ed. on two identical servers seperated by a firewall. The server inside of the firewall has been set up to use MSSQL Server replication to replicate changes to the server outside of the firewall. This works fine. But on the outside of the firewall you have to restart the webserver for the changes to appear. On the inside changes appers as expected when an update has been made.

Does this have to do with how IIS6 caches stuff ?? Apparently flushing the cache (when restarting or making "changes" to web.config and then save it) resolves the problem and the changes appers on the outside of the firewall.

The settings on the two servers IIS setup is identical.

Has anybody seen this before and/or does anybody know how to fix this ???

Thanx in advance for any answers!

Are we talking about changes to the data in the database? Or changes to the
ASP/ASP.Net pages?

Have you allowed caching of dynamic pages in IIS?

If you are using ASP.Net, are you using output caching?

Cheers
Ken
