HTTPS to HTTP rewrite in OWA for Enterprise Vault Extensions?

Something happened a few months back and the Enterprise Vault extensions in Outlook Web quit working.  What's happening is users click on the EV links in OWA and it tries to direct users to https://evlink.domain.com.  But the link really is http://evlink.domain.com.  We had a load balancer swapped out and one theory was a load balancer re-write rule wasnt in place.  But I was talking to a Senior Engineer in the Networking team and he doesn't believe this is the problem.  The load balancer gets the user to the OWA page so they can login.  The content inside the page isn't controlled by the load balancer at all.  The link to Enterprise Vault wouldn't be controlled by the load balancer.  Each of our Enterprise Vault servers (8 of them) are all single server (non-clustered and not behind a load balancer.)  So, how would I configure the link on our OWA page to rewrite or link directly to http instead of https?

    Is it when trying to open a LINK from within an email?

    Probably then you'd need to rebuild the shortcut body to replace the links.

    Is it when trying to open a shortcut from OWA?

    Probably then you'll need to configure/reconfigure EV to use HTTP rather than HTTPS

      Attached is the bottom left of OWA.  Neither of these links work because they attempt to open https instead of http.

      I can't reconfigure EV to use HTTP rather than HTTPS.  It's already set to use HTTP.  I would have to reconfigure it to use HTTPS, but this would involve registering certs and other SSL stuff.  This used to work and I'm not sure what broke or changed.

        The best solution would be to somehow get the links in OWA to point directly to http rather than having to figure out how to do a re-write of the URL.
