That is done easily, as noted here, for example. That can lead to some trouble, though, for example if dllhost is killed in the middle of reconcile process.

MS made a "fix" for this, it is a file called IIS5recycle. use that search term on MS's site and you will find it. It runs as a service and allows you control conditions to kill dllhost, such as memory thershold, page requests, time, timer, etc. It runs as a service and will also do logging. It is funny how MS acknowledges a memory leak problem, but instead of fixing the cause, the build a band-aid for the symptom. Be warned: I believe one of MS's latest patches breaks the IIS5recycle.
