Moorthy: the answer here is yes - put the APM module onto a BigIP and all of this should be possible. Check with your Field Systems Engineer about what the requirements are and they'll be able to help you sort through any details. To sum it all up though, APM can serve as a generic authentication proxy, and as such it's privy to all of the information you'll be interested in (and much, much more). So you'll fetch the attributes in question, then make some smart decisions on where folks should go based on whatever AD ships back.
Good luck. Oh, and if you don't mind, would you please post back any designs you come up with here? APM is an extremely powerful tool and folks are using it to do some slick stuff. Now we just need to get more of it socialized!
