SQL+IIS on AWS

We moved our machines from our current datacenter to Amazon AWS. In the first week things were running pretty, but suddenly we started having some strange problems, sometimes putting our two IIS servers down.

After digging into logs, the google and other sources we discovered it was a bug, and that Amazon had placed a fix for it.

So, if you are seeing lots of TIME_WAIT connections on your server you should check this out.
