dllhost getting hammered for memory

Our intranet (classic asp + perl) runs on a fairly old W2k box, and
recently, the performance is suffering through what looks like a memory
leak via dllhost.
I've been through the code and made sure its watertight for unclosed
objects.

Two things give me a particular problem.
1) more than one copy of dllhost is running, but nothing is in isolation
modea and only one web site is running.

2) a number of sessions talking to the database server can be seen via the
tcpip window on process explorer. As all comm objects get killed off within
the code, this should not happen?

Re: dllhost getting hammered for memory

How are you measuring memory consumption? The best way is to use
Perfmon:Process:Private Bytes. Watch that and see if your DLLHost is in
fact increasing in its memory use.

Eventuially fond the answer, but its weird.

Two folders on the web site, via IIS, were set to 'high/isolated' for app
protection.

Each copy of dllhost running was linked to one of these, and the last was
to 'eveything' else
