title: How many concurrent outbound HttpWebRequest calls can be made in ASP.NET / IIS7?
body: <p>I'm writing an ASP.NET web application which will run on Windows Server 2008 (IIS7).</p>
  
  <p>Each page's codebehind will need to make at least one synchronous web service call to an external server using HttpWebRequest and GET.</p>
  
  <p>My question - is there any limit to the number of outbound HttpWebRequest calls I can make? (assume that the server I'm calling has no limit)</p>
  
  <p>Is there any means to pool these connections to make the app scale better? Would a web garden configuration help?</p>
