Exchange 2010 OWA redirect
I need to set up a redirection so that users can simply enter http://webmail.company.com and that will redirect to https://mail.company.com/owa
I have set up the HTTP redirect per this Microsoft article (scenario 2) and it works perfectly when you are local to the network. When you try to access from the Internet nothing happens.

The second procedure redirects a request to http://server to https://server/owa. To help secure the information that's sent between the client and the server, the default Web site is set to require Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) at installation. To simplify access to Outlook Web App for your users, you may want to configure the Outlook Web App Web page, which is usually the default Web site in IIS, to automatically redirect users to https.
When you configure redirection from a top-level directory in Windows Server 2008, the settings are propagated to lower-level directories. For example, when you configure redirection on the Default Web Site to the /owa virtual directory, the settings that you configure also appear on the HTTP Redirect page of all the virtual directories, such as /Autodiscover, /Exchange, and /Public. Therefore, you must remove redirection from all the virtual directories except the one that you want redirected.
