About 4 years of 'lets do this in the load balancer' to begin with. e.g. AB Tests (site 1 vs site 2), http cache rules, bot blocking (if you can believe), etc.
Lots of things that can be solved other ways but arent going to be. Another thing I remember - we use ARR for dev for our service layer and when testers are testing against the machines directly we found the ARR solution very slow. We put it down to asp.net mvc picking up the requests as well and then abandoning them (we have to put ignore rules in for all ARR rules we use). We also have quite a high number of requests and dont' really want our dedicated web servers being taken up proxying through for other products.
