BizTalk Server Host Throttling continued

In the previous article, I explained what is host throttling and what are the mitigation strategies to avoid reaching throttling condition.
Since Publishing throttling state = 4, we increased the process memory threshold, but this led to another problem. The host instance started generating an "out of memory" error. Microsoft recommends that if an "out of memory" error is raised by increasing the Process memory usage threshold, then consider reducing the values for the Internal message queue size and In-process messages per CPU thresholds. And in worse case, if your BizTalk server regularly runs out of virtual memory, then consider BizTalk Server 64-bit.

Changes not reflected in Sharepoint Designer if you use public URL of WSS site

If you have changed the public URL of your WSS site, you can open your site in Sharepoint Designer using either the public URL or internal URL. But, when you open the site with the public URL, the changes done in Sharepoint Designer will not be reflected. You must open the site using the internal URL for any updates.
