Configuring Exchange 2010 to redirect LDAP traffic through the F5?

Kelly,

 

 

As someone who works almost exclusively on Exchange and F5 LTM I'd have to say no. The Exchange servers run a topology discovery service that discovers and rates GCs in the site every so often. In my opinion it is best to allow Exchange to balance this load accordingly. I'd have to assume the customer is seeing a higher-than-normal load on one of their GCs and thinks this means they should load balance. If this is the case, in my opinion, they should do some diagnostics on the AD side and see if there is anything wrong on that end.
