ledfish, good points, sorry, I should have remembered about the case non-sensitivity, but it's been so long since I've used windows servers that these details slipped my mind, I'm used to having full control.

Again, we resolved our issues by moving the site to Apache, but obviously for sites that have extensive programming this isn't an option, but for all you webmasters out there who can chose now, keep these types of issues in mind when you decide which platforms to work with.

That is a quandery though, definitely, how to tell a case sensitive bot [and of course filenames have to be case sensitive internally or the bot couldn't get the correct pages on all non-windows machines, ie about 70% of the web] that a certain case needs to be redirected to another case when the server can't see the difference.

I'll add this to my long list of reasons why I won't use IIS for any reason.

Almost all our problems were direct consequences of using windows hosting on that one site.
