I think you could also check the configuration of each vserver.

 

 

One thing to specify to tighten it down further is the allowed vlan property. So you will only expose the vserver for the proper interfaces. But this will also depend on if you use the F5 as a pure loadbalancer or if you use it as a router aswell.

 

 

Even if you use it as a router aswell you can then specify for which vlans the forwarding-ip vserver should be exposed.
