Subject: Question Regarding IIS 6.0 / Is this a DoS???

Hello List,

Recently I saw a small bug in IIS 6.0 when requesting a special path.
When I request /AUX/.aspx the server takes a bit longer to respond as
Normally. So I did write an automated script to see what happens if
I request this file several times at once. The result is that some servers
On the internet get quite instable, some do not. On some servers after I
Stop the attack I get an exception that the Server is too busy/Unhandled
Exception on the wwwroot (/) path.
Can you/the list confirm that?

Here is a lame testing script for this stuff:

#When sending multiple parallel GET requests to a IIS 6.0 server requesting
#/AUX/.aspx the server gets instable and non responsive. This happens only
#to servers which respond a runtime error (System.Web.HttpException)
#and take two or more seconds to respond to the /AUX/.aspx GET request.
#
#
