Routing Rules Page
Applies To: Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista
Use the Routing Rules page to configure simple routing rules that use the Application Request Routing (ARR) user interface. The Routing Rules page only lets you create simple routing rules; to create more advanced routing rules, use the URL Rewrite module user interface. Note that the Routing Rules feature is only enabled if the URL Rewrite module is installed.
For more information about routing rules, see the Using URL Rewrite Module walkthrough.
