Hello everybody,
I am developing a Windows Server 2012 R2 architecture (Virtualized all servers as Virtual Machines - VMs).
The architecture foresees some application with WebServer IIS.
The architecture foresees 2 Web Servers in NLB configuration.
REQUIREMENTS:
Reverse Proxy
It is request the use of proxy server. MS ARR is under consideration.
(I am not expert in Reverse Proxy and therefore I am asking your help)
QUESTION:
1) Does MS ARR have to installed in different server from the NLB web Server farm?
Or it is possible to install it on the 2 Web Server (as configured in NLB)
(By using additional servers, this lead to increase the number of VMs and licensing costs)
2) IS Windows NLB required? or it is MS ARR to provide NLB functions?
3) Is MS ARR a good tools to build Proxy server functions ? or third-parties software should be taken into consideration?
Please
Could you help in addressing this requirement?
Thanks
