My findings...

Good article Jake. We have had this running for 18 months or so at a client
site so users do not have to log on to the company intranet. The biggest issues
are: 1) we cannot use aliases which remove the .nsf, as IIS looks for this -
this makes friendly URLs less friendly than we want, and 2) Performance - we
have found that running IIS over domino does NOT run as quick as the native
domino http stack, and falls over more often. We have tuned the server
according to the MS IIS Performance tuning guidelines, but it is definitely not
quite the same - we ended up adding more horsepower. One other issue -
originally, our app had many design elements which were not available to public
access users, so we found that the IIS>Domino conversations to pass
authentication were numerous and caused the server to fall over - we had to
look at which elements forced authentication very carefully to fix the issue.
