Yes, we have Riverbed deployed at all of our remote sites to keep the bandwidth used down as much as possible. However it appears to not like the F5's as we tried a test yesterday which set the Riverbed to pass through traffic to the F5 without touching it and so far Outlook clients are performing much better. Prior to the change Outlook would disconnect every 5-15 minutes, after the change there was only 2 disconnects in 12 hours.

 

 

I'm using the standard WAN/LAN TCP profiles that the F5 sets up when you use the wizard to set up Exchange 2010 for load balancing.
