IIS6 was generating a new Machine Key for each worker process… (I assume this is the default behaivor, but I don’t know). Just setting that in stone in the web.config file fixed the problem. And now, I am dancing with glee because we can use worker process recycling, and end the w3wp.exe process at will without effecting anyone. YAY!!!!
