ASP.NET Chat with WCF

I’m looking to implement a chatroom interface for an ASP.NET page. I’m in the process of learning WCF and it seems that it is appropriate for a chat application. Before I get too involved into WCF I want to be sure it is the right choice to make for developing a chat application in ASP.NET. Can anyone provide any feedback?

Connection reset by peer (502) when contacting WCF service in IIS 7.5

We have a WCF service that has been working fine for months. Just this morning, calls to this service began failing with the proxy server reporting “connection reset by peer” (502). Oddly enough there are no IIS log entries for the dropped connections, although we are able to detect them with WireShark. So it seems as if the thread is dying, leaving no trace behind.
