Hi Cj,
Yes, the difference you mentioned is actually due to the different process
model of IIS5 and IIS6. IIS5 doesn't support application pool. However, you
can use other approach to make an application running under its own
separate process(through the isolation level setting for virtual
directory). Here are some articles mentioned the process model different
between IIS5 and IIS6

In addition, you can get some info & guide on IIS5 in the following site:

However, for ASP.NET application, we definitely recommend that you try
migrating them from IIS 5 to IIS6 as much as possible since IIS6 is the
more powerful and stable host environment.
