Have you checked for DNS issues or hard coded IP on the default web site for your OWA FE server????

Whenever someone attempts to access my OWA for the first time (per session), the connection is being redirected to an internal (non-routable) IP. Hitting Refresh on the browser opens OWA correctly, and the problem does not occur again until the user begins a new session (logs off or reboots their PC). The IP is the internal IP that the Exchange box was assigned in an earlier deployment, prior to OWA being made available. The Exchange box has a new IP and everything seems to be functioning normally, except for this OWA issue. On the first attempt to connect to OWA, the user is prompted to authenticate and after succesfully doing so, both OWA frames are loaded but their respective content isn't displayed. Rather, the generic "web page could not be found" is shown. Looking at what each frame does, they are both attempting to load their respective page, but they use the old internal IP for Exchange rather than the FQDN. If the user hits Refresh, the content of each frame is loaded using the FQDN and OWA will function as expected right up until the user logs off or reboots their PC. Afterwards, the first attempt to use OWA will again fail, etc... I have combed the registry to see if I could find any entry that would somehow point to the old Exchange's internal IP, to no avail. This issue started when one box was performing all Exchange functions. I now have front-end and back-end boxes, but the problem hasn't changed. Any suggestion ?
