David,

Do you mean here that the *implementation* of delegated administration was
broken here? From a security perspective, the concept that folks who should
only be able to manipulate their website must also be able to manipulate
everything else on a Windows Server is really the broken part. I know there
was talk some time ago (9 months or more?) about a delegated administration
add-on being worked on for IIS 6.0. Is that effort dead?
