iis security : IIS 5 bandwidth throttling

I believe this is typically done at the firewall or router. Firewalls such
as www.netscreen.com starting around $600 US come with bandwidth shaping /
QoS at no extra cost.

Windows 2000 does come with a QoS agent, but I think you might need a
QoS-aware router or firewall to make use of it.

Morning.

One of the servers we host is using too much bandwidth and we'd like to be
able to limit that amount of bandwidth available for a particular virtual
web site (or, if not possible, the machine itself - It's almost dedicated).

The problem is that the site in question uses about 95% dynamic ASP pages,
and my understanding (and from tests I've run) indicates that IIS 5
throttling only applies to static (html) content.

Is there either something hidden in the depths of IIS, or a 3rd party
application which would allow us to limit the amount of bandwidth available
to this machines?

TIA,
A.
