Publishing Applications
Greetings,
I want to publish web applications using Microsoft IIS Server (Server Farm) by deploying F5 Big-IP L7 Load Balancer in the perimeter "DMZ" do I still to deploy ARR module or it is enough to have L7 ?
In addition; if a reverse proxy is deployed on the F5 appliance in DMZ, do I still need to place IIS server in DMZ or I can place it in private zone - that is the Corp or back-end zone?
Thanking you

The LTM can provide also L7 loadbalancing, I think it would be good to reach out to a partner reselling F5 in your region in oder to clarify what is BIG-IP, what is LTM and WAF and what can do what for you.

To answer your question regarding the IIS servers - it depends. Probably it's easier to manage those IIS servers when they are member of an AD Domain. Remote Administration, Patch Management, Backup, etc. All of that might be easier. But there is not a strict requirement from the perspective of loadbalancing. For the F5 it doesn't matter whether the server is in AD or not.
