Kurt,
Using the BigIP allowed us to use a common TLD dv-strsohioportal for multiple sites hosted on different SharePoint servers. The irule was needed to define the pool based on the URI and also modify the full URL to contain a hostname that the SharePoint servers had defined such as paris-test or dublin-test1 within the AAM. The links that I mentioned above like /sites/inv do work within SharePoint but are handled by performing a redirect. Taking the BigIP out of the mix, if I requested http://paris-test/sites/inv SharePoint still performs a redirect causing the request to become http://paris-test/sites/inv/default.aspx. Unfortunately I can no longer continue testing as my SharePoint admin has abandoned the concept of using the BigIP based on the recommendation of Microsoft.
Thanks for your help.
Mark
