One of the problems with ASP.NET applications is that they periodically reboot, causing a long delay and possibly waiting time for users who visit the site during this time.
This may not be a problem for small websites, but it can be a significant downtime for high traffic sites if users are redirected to a node in a web farm that restarts.
Pre-collection may help, but for sites with many pages, there is still an inevitable delay.
Can the load balancer somehow "know" if the ASP.NET application domain on a particular server restarts? They can then route traffic around this server until the application completes a restart.
I currently have my ping load balancing simple .aspx page on a site. If there is a delay or the page does not load, the host is disabled. Is it possible to perform a more focused health check, perhaps at the IIS level, and not at the ASP.NET level?
