copied!<p>There are lots of reasons to separate out applications into their own app pools. For one when you have a separate app pool a new W3WP process is spun up, meaning that in some cases it can give you better performance. The new process will also have it's own allocation of memory, so overwriting cache entries for example will not interfere with cache entries on your main site (this could also be bad). Finally and most importantly if your app pool on admin crashes it will not affect the main app pool for your customers. In a lot of cases the app administrative sections are the most likely to fail since they contain so much functionality (but that's not with all cases).</p> <p>All those good things above can also have negative effects. For example you may want to force expiration of a cache item from the administrative application to the front end portion of the site, this is now going to be more difficult. Also these applications should be split up now in visual studio as two separate applications otherwise deployment will be quirky (both have to use items in the same bin folder). If it's a subdirectory (as you had mentioned) then you'll need to turn of web.config inheritance otherwise you'll get all sorts of problems. Check out this question on how to do that </p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/782252/avoid-web-config-inheritance-in-child-web-application-using-inheritinchildapplic">Avoid web.config inheritance in child web application using inheritInChildApplications</a></p> <p>I personally do think in some cases splitting the app pool for an administrative section can be beneficial <strong>but</strong> that depends on the application itself, you will have to look at your own application and make that decision.</p>
