static html vs dynamic aspx

I have heard static html is a good way to do the default.html as it is
faster and save resource hits over aspx for example.

But what if you want to generate and overwrite the static html pages every
day.
If you had a busy site like amazon the html pages would always be open and
busy by users hitting the web site every second. So how could the update
write of the page work.

Plus, what if you wanted ads on your page and you were using double click
or one of the other ad servers. Do these ad servers work on static html
page?

I am hoping theres someone with such a wide range of intelligence that has
knowledge of these issues.

Hello Steven,

They don't update the pages which the users serf. They have a number of clusters
and update pages there, turned nodes of clusters off and on when the new
pages were uploaded

It is typcially faster- but a cached page should be just as fast once in the
IIS cache.

Ad servers work fine throuigh static HMTL as long as the browser has
javascript enabled. If your site is busy, then load balancing across your
servers can be used to force traffic away from each server in turn to allow
you to update the page without having any impact.
