How to deal with non-https/http traffic?

Whats the best way to handle non-https/http traffic?

 

This is a web server, that also offers some other services. Currently. 

 

Gate(VIP pointing to web server) -> MPLS -> GATE -> web server

 

Atm, I almost feel like I am going to have to split the VIP on our outer gate into two IPs, one for the HTTP (pointing to the fortiweb) and the other bypassing the fortiweb containing the other service.

 

Gate(HTTP VIP) -> MPLS -> Gate -> Fortiweb(reverse proxy) -> Web server

Gate(SERVICE VIP) -> MPLS -> Gate -> Web server

 

Is there a better way to handle this? This feels flawed to me.

Hi, What is the problem with that?

A WAF is  for proxying HTTP/HTTPS traffic; it has nothing to do with another services/protocol.

 

Do you concern about how could manage your FortiMail,  sql or another non-email traffic for instance?
