Integrate F # into an Existing .Net Application

Question

I'm interested in using F #'s strengths in parallelism in an existing .Net application. That is, I would like to include the F # component, which will only handle the simultaneous transmission of messages from my application, leaving most of my existing .Net project as it is. An existing application will access the F # component.

1) Is this architecture appropriate? 2) If so, are there any examples demonstrating the best practice approach for this project?

Thank,

John

1) Is this architecture appropriate?

This, of course, is not a bad approach :)
