FOXASPI is a more Fox intensive solution but it may not be the most scalable solution. It scales by creating a pool of out of process EXE's. This is supposed to be very resource intensive. On the positive side, there are a lot of 3rd party frameworks based on this concept available that streamline the web development process.
IMO, the advantage to using ASP over the CGI approach is the new VFP MTDLL. This new lightweight runtime can be hosted by MTS which is supposed to be very scalable due to its object brokering scheme. It also offers a lot of other features that are especially useful to applications employing SQL databases. Like tansactions management, connection pooling, security and administration.
I hear a lot of differing opinons on this, so I really can't say what is best. However, keep in mind that MTS is a key part of MS's DNA framework. A lot of development effort is being invested in it.
Happy Holidays,
Charlie
