Hi,

I have not seen this before. But i can imagine that it can happen if you
restore an old metabase file, since this information is stored in the
metabase. That is the only thing i can think of.

May i also ask what tool you used to edit IIS settings? Was it IIS
Manager, or some third party tool?

often prompt the user for "do you want this applied to xxx children" with 
a list (not the exact language but i'm sure you know the prompt that i 
mean) and that there's a chance that might have blown away all the 
redirects. There were some other settings performed the day before it was 
noticed they were gone.
