ARRv2 RC is shipped with URL rewrite v2 RC1. As a part of security feature, in URL rewrite v2 RC1, you have to explicitly manage the allow and deny list. The documentation on this is at http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/686/setting-http-request-headers-and-iis-server-variables/

Depending on the FREB rule, you may not get any log. Are you collecting logs for response 200-999? The term "failed request" may seem confusing. The request does not have to fail, per se - it generates the traces based on the rule/criteria. So if you configure it to collect anything between...
