Don't forget to look into iApps for provisioning Exchange onto the F5 platform. We can do many things for Exchange in terms of performance, high availability, etc.

    We have tried the iAPP template 1.3.0, but that is not Layer 7. Does version 1.4.0rc2 support Layer 7 Load Balancing? I don't want to knock out a pool member completed if it fails a check for a particular process.

    Theres nothing to stop you from using the 1.4.0rc2 iApp against a different VIP with the same back-end pool members i.e. Exchange and testing it that way?
