Sounds like the answer is going to be for each virtual directory to have a separate exe (which times-out when idle), each of which can have a number of multithreaded COM dll worker threads. Opening and controlling the worker threads from the virtual directories .Exe looks to be reasonably ok to do. The problem is how to open and control (if necessary) each .exe from the incoming 'Listener' application.
Also we don't want to actually manually create a new 'exe' and new COM 'worker threads' for each virtual directory but to find a way for the listener application to reuse the same but with say a parameter for the virtual directory name.
