This is probably a silly question, but the names are confusing and I can't find a direct answer. There are a lot of limits in the ASP section of the IIS configuration that I might want to tweak (such as bufferingLimit, maxRequestEntityAllowed, and queueTimeout) -- but only if they affect ASP.NET.

But I suspect that they don't. Is this correct? Are ASP and ASP.NET entirely different entities as far as IIS 7.5 is concerned?

ASP and ASP.NET settings are treated as separate entities. ASP is considered "Classic ASP" and is more of a server-side scripting method -JScript/VBScript-. ASP.NET relies on the .NET Framework -it is compiled-, and ASP.NET applications run in their own AppPool's.

The answer would be "yes."

Yup, entirely different. Something applying to system.webServer/asp will not affect system.web or system/webServer (any other section) settings in the slightest.
