Check out the IIS ARR series on the Exchange Team Blog

Posted on 08/05/2013 by jasonsherry

Application Request Routing (AAR) is an optional feature of IIS on Windows 2008+ that allows IIS to act as a reverse proxy and URL re-writer. With this support you can have an Windows 2008+ server in your DMZ, it does not have to be domain joined, that all external clients connect to, then it will proxy their request to Exchange.

So it basically is a light weight replacement for TMG, but it does not support advanced rules, pre-authentication, DoS detection, etc, etc.
