Which version of BIG-IP are you running? Are you using TMG for both forward and reverse proxy, or just reverse?
LTM, APM, and AFM can do a reasonable job of replacing TMG nowadays, especially in v11.5. In the long term, I recommend going that way.

"/owa*" {
Outlook Web Access
if { [HTTP::header exists "APM_session"] } {
persist uie [HTTP::header "APM_session"] 7200
} else {
persist uie [HTTP::header "X-Forwarded-For"] 7200
}
if { [HTTP::header exists "Accept-Encoding"] } {
HTTP::header remove "Accept-Encoding"
}
pool exchange_2010_owa_pool7
return
}
...
default {
This final section takes all traffic that has not otherwise
been accounted for and sends it to the pool for Outlook Web App
if { [HTTP::header exists "APM_session"] } {
persist uie [HTTP::header "APM_session"] 7200
} else {
persist uie [HTTP::header "X-Forwarded-For"] 7200
}
pool exchange_2010_owa_pool7
}
