Multiple websites, multiple ips, one NIC, websites are getting mixed up

Hello.

I'm running IIS 5.0 on Win 2k server. Additionally, I have ColdFusion
MX 6.0 running as a service as well.

My problem is that I have five different websites set up on this
machine, two of which are high-volume sites. When I try to access
other WWW websites set up in IIS I frequently get a site other than
intended. For instance, I will try accessing Coldfusion Administrator
via http://localhost:xxxxx, and I will get a website configured for
one of the other IP addresses.

I have shut off Socket Pooling. Additionally I have set all the
websites' Application Protection to High (Isolated) as I originally
thought this was a problem with the wrong memory being addressed
somehow.

Thanks in advance for your help.

are you hitting these websites from the actual website machine? That could
look different than if you were at some other machine as well

It may very well be something in the way CF is configured. Recently there
have been a few related posts on this, try a search on google groups. Not
being a CF person myself, I don't remember the answer.

Do you have any sites bound to 127.0.0.1, the IP that localhost
directs to?

Each site must have the IP address specified, and none should have
"All Unassigned". Localhost will no longer work, you need to specify
the address or a valid host name that resolves to the address.

Thanks for the replies.

It turns out that in CFMX 6.0 template caching is turned on, and the
different sites showing up in the wrong places were cahced templates
that were showing up for different websites. To make a long story
short, turning off the caching solved all my problems.

Thanks again!
