My client has a IIS 5.x running on a Windows 2000 server (service pack 4). Cient has discovered that the macimum concurrent users that can be attached to a website on this server is 10. Is there a way to increase the number of concurrent users allowed?

The above-discribed sever is attached to the DMZ port of a Cisco PIX firewall There is also a server (domain controller), attached to the LAN (inside) port of the PIX, on which is running Symantec Backup Exec. The client would like to backup the web server's data, using Backup Exec. Most likely a Backup Exec Remote Agent would have to be installed on the web (IIS) server. The questions are: 1) is it possible to back up a server on the DMZ in the manner descibed above? 2) if it is possible, what entries are needed in the access control list of the PIX firewall to allow that backup job to proceed?

Are they accessing the website via HTTP?

Sounds like 10 CALs were purchased and they're accessing directly from the server instead of via HTTP. That would limit to 10 users.

IIS I believe has no limits of how many people can connect, less the Pix firewall is blocking more than 10 incoming connections.

I would just backup the webserver to itself and FTP to your domain controller. Though I haven't put much thought in what you have and what you're trying to do.
