SYMPTOMS
If you configure a Web site to redirect all requests to another Web site, the CurrentNonAnonymousUsers performance counter value of this Web site may increase significantly.



CAUSE
The default setting of the W3SVC/AuthPersistence property is AuthSingleRequestIfProxy(0x80). An HTTP request from a proxy server causes the CurrentNonAnonymousUsers value to decrease, but this counter never increases because the site is a redirection Web site.
