iis memory recycling

hi all,
using iis6 on win2003. i've seen some recommendations for application
recycling to be set at 60% of ram, specifically for those containing
asp.net pages. what if multiple applications are defined? is the 60%
recommendation an overall number for all applications combined, or
should each be set up at 60% ram? an obvious answer is to use the 60%
guideline as an aggregate value, but i'm not sure how iis really works
under the hood in this area.

so for example if i have 1 gig ram and 6 applications, do i specify 100
meg for each one, or 600 meg for each?

thanks,
rh

Since all your .Net application should be in one application pool separated
by .Net Framework version -- cannot run multiple .Net Framework versions in
the same application pool -- and the memory recycle is per-application pool
and not per application -- 60% for each application pool is the only thing
you can configure.

Actually, you are really asking about how a particular application framework
like ASP.Net runs on top of IIS... so it does not matter that you do not
know how IIS really works under the hood in this area. :-)
