Thanks for the changes which make it possible to host the Director and Frontend pool on different BigIP machines. Nevertheless it looks like I drove in another deathend ;)

 

With the upgrade to Skype4Businness I wanted to get rid of the TMG reverse proxy so I tried to configure the "Microsoft Skype Server Reverse Proxy" part of the template. But there again is the Director and Frontend part bound together. OK, so I tried to put a dummy IP in the FE VIP and backend fields which did create all the frontend dummy and 8080 director but not the 4443 virtual server for director pool. Is this on purpose? Because otherwise I would preffer to forward the 4443 trafic to Director too.

 

I have also tried to create the iApp with just the Reverse proxy configuration for both the frontend and director pools, but it ended up with an ilegal sharing error, although the ports 8080 and 4443 are not being used in any other iApp. What could be wrong here?

 

I have used following options in both cases - Yes, receive the reverse proxy traffic from another BIG-IP system - Yes, forward reverse proxy traffic to Director servers

 

I am also wondering if it would be possible to do the SSL passthrough here without a need to import certificate and key.

 

best regards
