SharePoint 2013 Office Web Apps and APM

I'm having an issue with SharePoint 2013 Office Web Apps (OWA) going through APM. When I first try to open a document, I get the error: "Sorry, there was a problem and we can't open this document. If...

    Hi JDL, if you want to protect Web Apps with APM, you need to colocate it with the SharePoint virtual server and make sure the Web Apps FQDN is included in the list when you deploy the iApp (that will add it to the multi-domains list in the APM profile). If you are doing a separate virtual server, it shouldn't have an APM policy assigned.

Denose,

That was basically the same issue that I was having and the only way I could consistently get the results I wanted was to have a separate VS for OWA and not assign it an APM policy. You may also be able to do within the irule used to assign the correct pool. For example:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { [HTTP::host] eq "owa.company.com" } {
     ACCESS::disable
     pool owa-pool
  } elseif { [HTTP::host] eq "sharepoint.company.com" } {
    pool sharepoint
  }
}

I hope this helps.
