IIS ARR (Application Request Route) with reverse proxy (Reverse proxy)

Why use a reverse proxy?

Here's my scenario, I assume on the server that SVN (Visual svn) port is: 8080, and I would like to enter svn.niusys.com to access my SVN server, that is, to access the internal 8080-port data via 80 ports, At this point, we can pass the reverse proxy, all requests to 80 port data, send to 8080, and then return the 8080 port data from 80 port to the original request.

What are the benefits of a reverse proxy?

1. General application can solve the problem of port, like the example above, my main use is that many of the building is Apache (SVN, Jenkins, JIRA) as a Web server, but the Windows system Default Web server is IIS, when access through the domain name, We can only choose one, so I chose to add a reverse proxy on IIS to resolve.

2. His greater usefulness is also the role of a shunt between polymorphic servers in a large web site architecture.

How does the IIS direction agent implement it?

1. This must be done after Windows Server2008, IIS7.0.

2. Install a component called Application request via the Web Platform installer (see here)
