Webservices - Live and Test systems linked?

Hi Everyone. We have a live system and we have a test system each on different servers and in our two systems we have a web interface via webservices and IIS. So in IIS (and I am no expert in IIS) we have two websites setup and each uses different port numbers and points to a different folder and each ini file is pointing to its own server. And both systems are working perfectly fine.

Here is the kicker - if we close the TEST SYSTEM Jade Webservices application (keeping the Live Webservices application running on its server) BOTH websites stop working. It seems the only way I can have my websites working is having both Webservices applications running on both servers at the same time? They each have their own log files and everything looks fine in these also?

Any ideas where I should start looking for the error?

Further to this situation, I have found in our IIS logs where for every request for data from our LIVE website (MyWTA), we get three lines in the log, and the first two lines are the problem (MYWTATEST) and should NOT be there. The log shows as follows;

2017-09-06 20:41:17 192.168.1.2 GET /MYWTATEST/jadehttp.dll MYWTATEST 443 - 131.203.130.142 - - 200 0 0 53
2017-09-06 20:41:17 192.168.1.2 GET /MYWTATEST/jadehttp.dll MYWTATEST 443 - 131.203.130.142 - - 200 0 0 27
2017-09-06 20:41:17 192.168.1.2 POST /MyWTA/jadehttp.dll MYWTAWEB&serviceName=WSProvider&listName=WebserviceT 443 - 131.203.130.142 - - 200 0 0 115

Can anyone shed any light on where the two GET lines originate from?

Turns out the web developer had hard coded a test to see if the jade webservice was up and running to help identify web errors and the test for the webservice had been left at the MYWTATEST and not changed for Live. He owes me morning tea at least!

Thanks to all those who read the post!
