Trouble testing with ACT and ASP.NET

(sorry, I am just having trouble getting my Universal MSDN subscription news
group email address hooked up so MSFT responds so I am reposting hoping it i
s now setup right)
Here is our scenario:
.asmx web service on server 1 (Windows 2003)
on server 2 (Windows 2000), we run ACT with 100 concurrent users calling an
ASP that uses a COM+ VB6 DLL SOAPing to .asmx file. We read 100 concurrent r
equests in ASP.NET Requests Current on server 1.
on server 2, we run a .NET Console app that SOAPs to the .asmx file. We have
it looping continuously making the same call. We open about twelve instance
s of the console. We read a varying number of concurrent requests but we see
values in the 20's.
on server 2, we run a .aspx web form that SOAPs to the .asmx file. We run AC
T with 100 concurrent users. We consistently see only 4-5 concurrent request
s on server 1.
Is there some configuration of web or machine.config we are missing?
Thanks!This may help

This article did help. I put the following into Web.Config of the client ASP
X
that calls the Web Service:
<system.net>
<connectionManagement>
<add address="*" maxconnection="40" />
</connectionManagement>
</system.net>
<system.web>
We modified this number and did a few tests. We tried 60, 40 and 20. All
were better then the default of 2. 40-20 seemed the best range. We checked
time to first byte, current ASP.NET requests and server CPU usage.
We went looking for why this 2 connection limit and we found this blog:
http://odetocode.com/Blogs/scott/ar...06/08/272.aspx. So I think we
feel very comfortable in changing this value.
We may also look at calling the web service asynchronously as the article
you provided suggests.
Thanks for the help.
