how do I force IIS to single thread my web service??

I have a web service running on IIS 5.0. We know the web
service is not threadsafe, and want to force aspnet_wp.exe
to only run one instance of our web service. What
settings do we use to do this.

I have tried modifying the machine.config file and setting
maxWorkerThreads=1. However, then I can't even get
aspnet_wp.exe to load. Can anyone help me out here?

Try, at the start of every method in your web service, to do the

following:
lock (typeof(MyWebService))
{
// non-thread-safe-code
}

He will need a stronger lock than a critical section since the critical
section doesn't block threads outside the calling application.
He said he wanted IIS to single-thread. What other threads outside the
application will be running the same instance of his web service?
