Hi Mehdi,

looks that it should work.  Have you tested already?

Yes we have tried but no success.

When I do a  group EX10HTC_servers I see

EX10HTC1-1B          0        Down       255    0       TCP-6005    0

EX10HTC1-2B          0        Down       255    0       TCP-6005    0

One requirement based on my Exchange Admin person is the requirement for Port range of  6005 through 65535 which I have created for the services.  But that is not an option in the content rule...See below for my config

service EX10HTC1-1B
    ip address x.x.x.x
  protocol tcp
  keepalive type tcp
  port 6005 range 65535
  active

service EX10HTC1-2B
    ip address x.x.x.x
  protocol tcp
  keepalive type tcp
  port 6005 range 65535
  active

content EX10HTC-3
    add service EX10HTC1-1B
    add service EX10HTC1-2B
        vip address x.x.x.x
    dnsbalance roundrobin
    active

Hi Mehdi,

You can specify only 1 port or no port. When you dont specify any port in content rule then by default the port is any.

So irrespective of the port number the request will be forwarded to the servers.
