I am struggling with the following.

we have two adfs server adfs1.company.com.au and adfs2.company.com.au. if i access them externally via adfs1.company.com.au or adfs2.company.com.au I can get there.

if try to use adfs.company.com.au externally and hit the service group of SG\_ADFS (has adfs1 and adfs2 in it) it never gets there

the aflex I am using is

Not Working one “adfs.company.com.au” { pool SG\_ADF }

working one “adfs1.company.com.au” { pool SG\_ADFS } “adfs2.company.com.au” { pool SG\_ADFS }

how can I make it work it the users go to adfs.company.com.au and have it redirect to either of the backend servers (adfs1 or adfs2).

the urls the servers are using are differnt.

[https://adfs1.company.com.au:443/adfs/ls/IdpInitiatedSignon.aspx](https://adfs1.company.com.au:443/adfs/ls/IdpInitiatedSignon.aspx)) [https://adfs1.company.com.au:443/adfs/ls/IdpInitiatedSignon.aspx](https://adfs1.company.com.au:443/adfs/ls/IdpInitiatedSignon.aspx))

appreciate any help

Hello cairnsbryce,

I have some questions about this:

```auto
- Are the servers responding on requests to the HA-domain adfs.company.com.au?
- What traffic do you see at the servers?
- can you send some axdebug SNIPs to analyse the problem?

Otherwise you can open a case at support@a10networks.com .

```

CU Holger!
