SYMPTOMS
When you Web publish servers through Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server, the Microsoft Web Proxy service (W3proxy.exe) may stop responding, and you may either receive a stack dump of the error or a Dr. Watson error message, depending on the disaster recovery options set on the server. In either case, ISA Server no longer services Web Proxy-based traffic, and you must restart the Microsoft Web Proxy service.



CAUSE
This problem may occur if the following registry value is set to 0:

The Web Proxy service uses the ConnectCacheSize registry value to determine how many sessions to maintain to the same remote server in support of clients that use the HTTP 1.1 &quot;Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive&quot; and HTTP 1.1 &quot;Keep-Alive&quot; request headers.
