Pool connectivity from the internal network
Hello,
I've successfully deployed SharePoint 2013 using the F5 BigIP LTM iApp. I need SharePoint to be able to connect to our OWA pool. The OWA deployment documentation has a section about creating an iRule on the SharePoint VIP that forwards traffic with OWA headers to the OWA pool.
I have everything set up correctly but the SharePoint sessions aren't able to forward traffic to the OWA pool. This is evidenced by no traffic hitting the pool members.
We have firewalls between the F5 and internal network as well as between clients and the external network.
Can I have the SharePoint VIP forward traffic to the OWA pool members without having to go back through the internal/external firewalls? Only the External network can be configured for a VIP based on our security requirements.
Thanks,
