Installing reverse proxy and web dispatcher

[jay_b2]

I have come across a requirement for configuration of Reverse proxy & web dispatcher... to be installed on separate servers.

Can you help me know if SAP Web Dispatcher can run as a standalone component or will I have to install NW and then, install the SAR file. If we need NW, should I go for AS ABAP / JAVA... I believe it would be ABAP as we are using SAR file and not an SCA. Although, I wonder if my Web Dispatcher needs a database as I dont see any functional use of the database ?

How about reverse proxy.. Would it be good to go with IIS or with Apache.. Any other alternatives that you know of ?

I have been using Windows 2008 server & DB2 UDB.

Thanks,
