Hi mr_burgess,

 I am trying to involve someone familiar with this topic to further look at this issue. There might be some time delay. Appreciate your patience.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

I think you can do it. But you have to set it up on the backend server. The server that hosting the OWA.

The IIS that host the site for OWA need to have tool installed or you have to edit the webconf file.

Please se blow sites.

Hi

I am able to successfully redirect internally, the problem is when publishing exchange 2013 through the Web Application Proxy server 

If i attempt to publish https://webmail.contoso.com - I get an error informing me that 

"The following external URL https://webmail.contoso.com:443/ cannot be used because it conflicts with an external URL of Exchange Web Services published web application that is already configured to use https://webmail.contoso.com:443/EWS/."

The issue seems to be allowing the webproxy server to listen just on webmail.contoso.com

thanks
