Hi Korai,

 

How is name resolving configured on the inside server? Also through the F5 forwarding VS? If that is the case, you need a forwarding virtual server that is listening on port 53 (DNS). Or modify the virtual server to listen on all ports.

 

You crossed out the destination IP in the forwarding virtual server so I think you put one of your own IP-addresses there. In a forwarding virtual server, the destination should be 0.0.0.0/0

 

Hope this helps.

 

Regards,

 

Martijn

HI,

 

So the proxy will setup the connection to the internet. Correct?

 

So the proxy must be able to contact DNS servers and do HTTP and HTTPS. If you do not use an internal DNS server, but one on the internet, the forwarding VS must be configured to listen on port 53 also. This means a second VS or a VS configured with all ports.

 

Did you look create network traces to see what is going on?

 

Regards,
