AFM - Office 365 URL filtering & SRC IP change / Irule using a txt file of O365 URL's

Hi

 

I could do with a bit of advice on whether I am approaching my requirement the correct way please.

 

The Requirement is to deploy an F5. Internal client PC's & Servers will be pointed to a VIP via a WPAD / application proxy settings. Once at the F5 it needs to check the URL that is presented against a defined list of approved Office365 URL's and permit or deny (preferably deny with a block page - in case they are using a browser). There are no "proxy" servers, the F5 once allowing the flow needs to just resolve the URL to the correct destination and route the packet .. I.e the F5 IS the proxy not a load-balancer for a proxy.

 

We have not bought the F5 yet and I don't know if I need the AFM module or just an Irule and an HTTP proxy irule (or both) to achieve this.

 

If anyone can advise, or even better give me some config about how you may have done this (especially how to have a file which contains a list of approved URL's - that I can update without having to mod the irule) that would be brilliant.

 

thanks very much James
