Can I disable Live Traffic Test? I realize I could just use bogus parameters but I'd rather just disable it if possible. Thanks. Also, I can't find much documentation on how Live Traffic Test works. Could you explain a little bit about the feature here? For example, what does the Failover Period...

Salvo 1) I am not at liberty to disclose the final RTW date. I will say that it should be in first half of calendar year 2009. 2) I am not sure if I fully understand your question. How would the 2 server farms be used? More specifically, would they respond to the same domain name or two separate ones...

This is a short announcement that a release candidate of Application Request Routing has been released today. What's new in RC? Shared hosting and elastic scalability : Ability to specify different number of servers to utilize per host name. Increase and decrease the number of servers in real-time...

You will need at least one site (typically the default web site) on IIS. This is why I was asking the questions around how you are resolving the port conflicts and whether you are running both the IIS and Tomcat on the same server. Do you know if you can setup both IIS and Tomcat in such a way that they...

Thanks How are you resolving the conflict on port 9090? Did you configure the default website on IIS such that it only listens on port 80 and 443? Also, when you say that it does not work, what kind of error do you get? Thanks

If all you are doing is forwarding the request to your Tomcat, then no, you don't need to create the server group. That said, are you running both ARR, URL rewrite and the Tomcat all on one instance of IIS? What does your URL rewrite rule look like (from the applicationHost.config file.) Could you...

There are two types of affinity in ARR; per client affinity and per host name affinity. For per client affinity, ARR relies on a cookie. The cookie stores the hashed value (what is entered as the server address when defining the server farm). Because of this design, there is no information to share between...

tommy9un IIS (even with ARR in IIS7) is not designed to be on the edge. It typically sits behind a firewall, such as ISA. So your example is correct in that you will have ISA -> IIS (as ARR) -> IIS (as application server) -> DB. I can also tell you that there is no out-of-box support for what...

Looooooka Sorry, it's taken so long to follow up on this. Were you able to sort out what the problems were? In my testing, I use shared configuration and it's been working pretty well. As you had indicated, it is such a time saver since you only need to make the changes once. Also, adding additional...

Some of you have asked me about the dependency between ARR and URL Rewrite. Strictly speaking, there is no hard dependency between ARR and URL Rewrite modules. A more accurate way to describe the relationship between ARR and URL Rewrite is that ARR depends on another module to determine which server...
