F5 with mixed Exchange 2007 and 2010 Client Access Servers

Hello,

 

We are new on F5 devices. My question as follows: -

 

 

Currently all are users on Exchange 2007. We have Exchange 2010 servers as well in our environment. Exchange 2010 Client Access Servers (Outlook Web Access) servers can not handle Exchange 2007 mailboxes same with the Exchange 2007 Client Access Servers.

 

This is the follwoing we want to do: -

 

 

We have a OWA URL as messages.company.com

 

If user mailbox is on Exchange 2007 servers F5 direct that connection to Exchange 2007 Client Access Servers.

 

If user mailbox is on Exchange 2010 servers F5 direct that connection to Exchange 2010 Client Access Servers.

 

 

I was wondering if their is a way that F5 could determine using LDAP query or some other method and check with our Active Directory and find out if that particular user's mailbox is on Exchange 2007 or Exchange 2010 and according to that it redirects the connection to respective Exchange 2007 or 2010 Client Access Servers. I would appreciate it. If someone would advise.
