Darn. I forgot to mention that it is fairly easy to prove that pooling is
working by using SQL Profiler to verify whether your connections are being
re-used.. You can even use sp_who2 to verify that your connections remain in
place for 60 sec. after you web pages use them (Create a test login name.
Create a test page that uses that login. Run the page. Then use sp_who2 in
Query Analyzer to see the connection. Run sp_who2 to verify that the
connection remains. Refresh the page. Use sp_who2 to see if a new connection
gets created).
