DirectAccess with F5 as external load balancer

Hello folks,

 

I'm trying to implement DirectAccess using F5 as external load balancer but I can't find any details on how it should be configured in the entire Internet!

 

It is a very simple implementation with 2 DirectAccess servers each 1 with NIC. A public IP is NATted to F5 and from there traffic should be load balanced to the DA servers. But that is not working. I have configured a pool with both DA servers and assigned it to a virtual server with both client and server SSL profiles assigned.

 

I have done this before using Netscaler. In that scenario I just had to create a SSL Bridge Virtual Server with SSL Session persistence and it worked fine.

 

Any documentation available or any kind soul that can provide some insight?

 

Thanks

Felipe
