HttWebRequest ServicePoint.ConnectionLimit

Hi all,

I need to make about 300,000 HTTP requests to an URL. (Yes I know it's a lot, and there's no way to prevent this amount of calls).

To increase the speed, I did some testing with increasing the ServicePoint.ConnectionLimit in the app.config. Increasing the limit to 1000 or even 10,000 give a great performance boost. Making 10,000 calls completed withing 6 seconds.

I did these testing on my PC in a console application. I copied the code into my webapplication. In both my local (ASP.NET) webserver as the production's webserver (IIS) the ConnectionLimit is set to 48. Now it takes abount a minute to complete 10,000 requests.

Is there any wat to increase this limit as well in a webserver?

Thanks
