GLOBAL.ASA And IIS 6.0

How does IIS 6.0 treat the global.asa file? I had the following problem;

1. uploaded a new site to the win3k server

2. had incorrect db connection string in Session_OnStart in global.asa and website caused errors.

3. Changed the global.asa file to include the correct details. Saved the file. Still got the same errors.

I could not resolve this unless restarting the WWW Service on this server. In IIS 5.0 the global.asa file would reload after resaving it (as the timestamp is updated).

I even waited the next day before restarting the service because I though Session_OnStart expires after my session ends...but the error was still there
in the morning.

Hopefully someone will make sense of it for me. Here is the code (I inherited) in the global.asa

Sub Application_OnStart
Application("DB.ConnectionString")= ""
Application("MaxLoginAttempts") = 5
Set Application("Con") = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Session("Test") = Now()
End Sub

Sub Session_OnStart....
