My understanding is that IIS is thread based. So wouldn't using it as a host/balancer inherently cripple Node? I mean I get the benefit of the possible inter-op with .NET. However, I, and perhaps this is because I come from a Java background so I make things hard, would use Node.exe, but would have everything talk in more of an SOA manner. Node uses itself and other tools that are good for load balancing a tool like it and .NET talks to Node via services.

What am I missing?
