Preserving URLs?

We want to use F5 load balancer and not use Web Dispatcher for load balancing.       This is what happens:   (friendly = BIGIP VIP)       ...

Johan,

 

 

Are you allowing the f5 to hit your SCS instance? That may be causing the problem since when it hits the message server it will cause an actual redirect to an app server (instead of a pass through). I have the f5 hitting only the individual app servers. If I type in http://friendly.comp.com, all links in the Netweaver startpage show http://friendly.comp.com URLs. If I go to http://app1.comp.com, they all show http://app1.comp.com URLs. I'm also using this for all Java systems, not jsut portal (including PI, NWDI, SLD, etc.) Hoep this helps.
