I see nothing wrong with IIS gracefully shutting down one of ISAPI DLLs
after a configurable period of inactivity. The problem that I had was that
after such gracefull shutdown UrlScan stopped filtering off .exe .dll
requests configured in its INI file. This happend when I installed UrlScan
for the first time. I've added .exe and .dll to the list of prohibited
extensions and changed directory of its log file. I didn restart IIS. Once
I've made sure that .exe and .dll requests reach IIS, I've uninstalled
UrlScan from the control panel and installed it again. I've also restarted
IIS couple of times and so far UrlScan has been filtering out evrything I've
configured it to, even after several gracefull termination and restarts that
happened without my intervention.

So the problem doesn't seem to be gone, its just hiding somewhere. And I'd
appreciate any information that would explain why UrlScan didn't restart
after first gracefull shutdown and what can I do to prevent it in the
future.

Thanks.
