Microsoft Application Request Routing (ARR) Version 2 for IIS7 Beta 1 has been released.
Overview:
ARR version 2 beta 1 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 beta 1 can be used to:
· Enhance ARR version 1 scenarios with disk cache.
· Use ARR as a cache proxy as an edge cache in CDN/ECN environment.
Download ARRv2 beta 1 from:
· Microsoft Application Request Routing Version 2 for IIS7 Beta 1 (x86)
· Microsoft Application Request Routing Version 2 for IIS7 Beta 1 (x64)
What’s new in ARRv2 beta 1:
· Disk-based caching
In addition to the kernel memory cache in ARR version 1, version 2 beta 1 adds support for disk-based cache.
· Cache proxy
Because ARR is a proxy-based HTTP request routing module, with support for disk cache, ARR can be used as a cache proxy as an edge cache.
· Cache hierarchy management
Define and manage relationships between cache nodes, including support for Cache Array Routing Protocol (CARP).
· Caching while serving response
Caching large content, such as a movie clip, may take some time. ARR version 2 beta 1 is capable of caching the content while serving the response immediately.
· Caching compressed objects
Disk-based cache stores compressed objects so that the objects do not have to be compressed in real time for every request.
Documentation:
· Configure and enable disk cache in ARRv2 beta 1
Support:
· The support is now provided by Microsoft Support.
· The existing ARR forum will continue to exist and the product team will continue to moderate the forum.






How about integrating with Velocity or Memcached – this way we don’t have any server affinity to our caches?
