how do you determine that traffic doesn't go to VS_Office?&nbsp;do keep in mind that these rewrites only have an effect on the server side, the client will still see oa.f5.com but the traffic should go internally to VS_Office&nbsp;a lot will depend on what the backend server is showing and if there isn't a redirect that just sends you to oa.f5.com again.
