That's another approach we can take, but since IIS is the only Microsoft component left in the equation, Microsoft probably won't like that much (this hosting agreement is part of a larger deal between our two companies). ;-)

Brian,

I know of a few filer customers who are using IIS with the filers using CIFS. No one is using the Frontpage 98 extensions to IIS, as they don't work over a network share. As Mike Patchen pointed out, Microsoft has promised to fix this in Frontpage 99. If this is really important to you, you should bring that up as a requirement to Microsoft. Andy Schulert andyschu@microsoft.com is the person to send your needs to.

The people successfully using IIS with filers are currently using FTP - to allow users to upload web pages to their personal directories. With the filers, we also have created a special NT utility that "effectively" allows large # of directory quotas for this special situation. This is so you can do quotas for your web-hosting users. Using quotas on filers is apparently the only scalable quota solution available for NT today (according to people who use them). We can polish this utility for wider usage, if we see a lot of demand for web-hosting quotas.

Regards, -Rajiv
