ARR ARR V2 IIS

Today we did the official release for ARR Version 2 for IIS7.0 on Vista/Windows 2008 and IIS7.5 on Windows7/Windows 2008 R2 and it is now fully supported by Microsoft Support.

Overview:

Microsoft Application Request Routing (ARR) for IIS7.0 on Vista/Windows 2008 and IIS7.5 on Windows7/Windows 2008 R2 is a proxy-based routing module that forwards HTTP requests to application servers based on HTTP headers, server variables, and load balance algorithms.

ARR Version 2 is an incremental release that includes all of the features from Version 1, and adds support for disk-based cache. More specifically, ARR Version 2 can be used to:

Enhance ARR Version 1 scenarios with disk cache.
Use ARR as a cache proxy as a cache node in a CDN/ECN environment.
- Use ARR as an edge/child cache node.
- Use ARR as a parent cache node.
