Mimicking IIS

Some of the Indigo's features/facilities inside IIS described in Pallmann's book that have not been addressed yet are automatic activation and service health check-ups. As somebody asked early this week: the IP restrictions seem to reamain in place so...

The latter feature is the more complex one. What is the stick that should be used to determine the health of a service? Maybe a ratio of requests served to requests in queue and use an increasing time span to capture a meaningful figures?

Seems simple but easy to implement for a someday-will-be-beta proeject.

The automatic activation could be done from the intermediaries.

I am going back to our (not Amber's :-) beta...
