Thanks for the info, André! I will be certain to check to make sure ARR covers all of our needs. We don't use domain user IDs, but that makes me suspicious that there could be other things ARR doesn't forward that we DO rely on.
Of course, if anyone has any other empirical or anecdotal information, I'd still like to hear it.

This was not a "proxy to Tomcat" case, and your needs may be different, but I happened to bounce on the issue described here : http://forums.iis.net/t/1163866.aspx (I needed to be able to pass the authenticated Windows domain user-id to the back-end server; that is something which mod_jk does, but which ARR seems to have trouble doing). In other words, I would check very carefully if really all your needs are covered by ARR, before you invest too much time into it. Additional OT info : in the end, for my needs, I ended up using the IIS add-on Isapi_Rewrite module from HeliconTech. It is a reasonable clone of the mod_rewrite/mod_proxy Apache httpd functionality, although not as complete either. But for my needs this time it was sufficient.
