Tony I would like to understand your environment a bit better before making my recommendation. - You've mentioned that you have 7 sites, each with their own IP. So today, in your load balancer, do you have 7 VIPs, each with their own domain name binding? - The 2 WS08 boxes that you have, are you...

We install Microsoft Application Request Routing on a server and we are using it as a reverse proxy server. All the url rewrite rules work, if we update the rule set with new rules everything still works but if we introduce or modify any rule that contains any IP condition and use REMOTE_ADDR as a variable...

David Thanks for making the tracing rule available. (However, it looks like you must have enabled the tracing after URL rewrite and ARR have been installed. Did you know that URL rewrite and ARR can write more detailed information to tracing? http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/488/using-failed-request-tracing...

I believe the examples shown in this forum post would also be helpful in understanding how different rules can be used for routing requests: http://forums.iis.net/t/1158459.aspx Let me know if you have further problems.

Thanks - but I am afraid that there are no plans for such book. :) However, I am curious to know if you have describe your challenges with finding the documentation. I would like to see if we can make things better/easier. With every release milestone, we publish articles on iis.net. For ARR, they are...

Hi David Since the ARRv2 Beta1 release in March, the team has been working on the next release milestone, ARRv2 Beta2. I am not able to get into the specifics of the feature set and/or the schedule, but I will say that it will have a feature that will pre-cache contents. As for the cache-hit or miss...

Here is what I would recommend as a start. Although you do not have to use a server farm in this case (as you are not using it as a load balancing scenario), I would still recommend using the server farm as using ARR in the context of server farm provides additional features, such as health monitoring...

Hi Joshua ARR and NLB can be complementary, but they are not the same technology. Not sure if you had a chance to walk through some of the documents, but for your use case, it seems like the following may be most useful: http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/486/http-load-balancing-using-application-request...

I would need to know a few more details. 1) Is OWA and MSCRM 4 running on the same machine? 2) What ports are they running on (80 and 5555)? Are they all via clear text? No SSL? 3) How many such machines do you have? 4) Are you trying to deploy an ARR in front of such machines for load balancing purposes...

ARR does not set this value automatically. However, it is the recommended setting for deploying ARR in production. Functionally speaking, this value has no impact on how ARR works. The idle time-out is designed to bring down the worker process in order to free up more memory. (The default value is 20...
