Split off Activesync and OWA traffic

[joshuaballard]

Want to use the 4710 to load balance based on URL and User Agent. All requests to same URL. If I see a https request come in from a iphone I know it's Activesync traffic and want to send it to Server A. If I see a https request come in from a browser I know it's OWA traffic and want to send it to Server B. Is it possible and does anyone have an example.

Hi Josh,

First thing you need to know is that this only can be done if you're offloading the SSL connection on the ACE otherwise the ACE won't be

able to take a peek at the URL or user-agent.

If this you're doing SSL termination then you just need to configure a class-map type HTTP with a match for user agent "iphone" and leave non-iphone traffic to match the class-default so you don't need to configure multiple rules for multiple user agents.

class-map type http loadbalance match-any IPHONE

  2 match http header User-Agent header-value .*iphone.*

HTH

Requests should first come in via port 80 for OWA - - most of the time. The server will redirect to 443. Souldn't it be able to read user agent before the Exchange server redirects to 443? I have to to send all traffic coming from smart phones to one box and let true OWA traffic continue to the Exhcnage servers. Want to keep Public url the same but police Active sync traffic. Anyways, all I have to do is load the cert and offload ssl....not to hard, right?
