setup a test webfarm with Web Farm Framework and ARR to do provisioning and load-balancing. one little problem i found was i had to reinstall webdeploy since in the typical setup it didn’t install the service needed to provision apps. then i had to install ARR 2.5 to do the balancing. in test it seems to be working good. installed on server 2008 64 in test hyper-v setup.
