Yes, but you realize this breaks your own network load=20
balancing solution... If I am restarting a website on one=20
server in a cluster, then the nlb algorithm will continue=20
to include it because TCP port 80 is still listening. And=20
moving functionality to kernel mode is great but not when=20
you take away functionality that was previously there.=20
Would I not have to restart W3SVC and HTTP after using=20
httpcfg delete iplisten -i 10.0.0.2 ?=20
I still consider this a bug when you want to shut down=20
one website but can't... there is no way to stop the=20
server from listening on that IP port 80 unless you stop=20
all websites on that server. Could also be considered a=20
security issue to me and a big issue to web hosting=20
providers.
If I open a support ticket would I have an opportunity to=20
get this treated as a bug and get a fix in the works?
Somewhat Dissatisfied Steve
