sharepoint 2010 installation and F5 load balancing

I am installing sharepoint 2010 for the first time with a hardware load-balancer in the mix. How do I configure AAM or whatever redirect is necessary to get it to work with the F5. Right now the site collection works on the Admin/App Server and both WFEs. If I try to access the URL off the server it doesn't work unless it points to the Admin Server rather than the WFEs that the load balancer "balances"

All ideas welcome, I am desperate...

    Think you might mean LTM not AAM.

     

    Anyway, there's an iApp for delivering SharePoint via a bigip device. An iApp is a template basically where you fill in the gaps.

     

    You can also find a deployment guide on f5.com too.

     

    Hopefully this will get you started.

    Thank you for the help. I read the deployment guide on f5.com What I meant by AAM is Alternate Access Mapping. I am wondering if there is something I am missing in how that mapping is set up. (that is included in the f5 set up)

     

    I am getting a 404 page not found error off the server if I try to access the page from Intranet.

     

    The test server I have renders the same content from the Intranet, so what is happening is related to the three-tier farm and the load balancer. There must be a redirect of some kind or a AAM configuration that I am messing up, but I can't find anything about it. Neither can my network guy.

     

    Any ideas?

     

    Thank you for the help btw....
