Configuring TMG for Exchange 2010

I wonder if I need Microsoft TMG forefront installed on EDGE Server.
I mean TMG or similar solutions.

In the past I have used GFI and installed it in on SMTP server in the DMZ to scan email for viruses before it get forwarded to the mailbox. that was in Exchange 2003.

Exchange 2010 has Edge Server, I am sure I can install GFI on it, but I am thinking what TMG forefront can do if I install it on the EDGE server.? or it has to be installed on a separate box on the DMZ where the Edge is installed?

I believe TMG forefront has anti virus/spam/malware functionalities as well as proxying.

Thank you

I know that Exchange Hub Transport serve0rs load balance themselves , they do not need Load Balancer. I wonder if Edge servers can Load balance themselves.

Regarding the TMG Implementation, can you please explain the way you put your hardware in the network ? Example:

External Firewall

2 Load Balancer (for traffic coming inside)
2 TMGs ( Please tell me whether the Anti-Virus and Anti Spam should be set up here or on the Edge servers)
2 Exchange Edge Servers (Please tell me whether the Anti-Virus and Anti Spam should be set up here or on the TMG)
2 other Load Balancer(for traffic going out)

2 or more Hub/CAS servers

2 or more Mailbox Servers

Elaboration on this question will be very much appreciated
