Hi Aaron,

 

 

I'm afraid it still isn't working even after applying the modified iRule. From what i can gather is once you hit the VIP it passes the request onto the floating IP address and then onto the web servers as this is configured for high availabilty with two f5's (active/standby). The only address that IIS can see is the floating address from the f5.

 

Ignore the austhentication issue as I'm not concerned about authentication from an IIS perspective as the application will handle that but as i've mentioned i would like to restrict access to the web servers only from certain trusted sources.
