I used the phrase "IIS restart" informedly - this was the phrase he used.
I'll check out whether or not the application restarts when I view
Global.asa, but also take a look at the logs for the time period my
colleague was referring to. It may be that IIS has been restarting, but this
is symptomatic of a completely different issue.

Many thanks for the responses.
