My apologies to anyone experiencing the dreaded 403.9 "Access Forbidden: Too many users are connected" errors.  I didn't realize my little blog was so popular

Running IIS 5.1 with its 10 concurrent connection limitation seems to be the culprit.  Unfortunately, hardware limitations are preventing me from upgrading the server to 2k3 and subsequently IIS 6.  However, I found this nifty little post describing how to max your IIS 5.1 connections at 40.  Hopefully this well help alleviate the connection issues for the time being.

I've also given permission to a "little hacker friend" (who also happens to be a competent Halo 2 buddy) of mine to take a look at my current security situation.  Will be interesting to see how helpful the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer tool is.
