We are to deploy several web servers in a datacenters. All running Windows 2K12 + IIS. I am not very familiar with data center best practices for deploying and maintaining web servers.
In the office we've used Forefront TMG to secure the perimeter and publish internal web-sites.
Will Forefront TMG act as a caching proxy to facilitate content delivery to a clients requesting resources from TMGs intranet?
What we've seen is a pretty good performance when it comes to inbound content caching on TMG.
I am concerned that TMG will only slow things down and my web servers don't need perimeter protection at all (just good patching and well-configured firewall).
