Thanks a lot, Tom! My second question was not clear enough... If I have
one URL on each of the IISs pointing to the same directory on the hard disk,
the same dll-file/web service binary will be run by all the IISs. How can
this binary file / code find which of the four IISs which executes it?

You can get the IP that was requested from
Request.ServerVariables("LOCAL_ADDR"):
