Nov 06, 2017Then you cannot apply a http profile, or insert an X-Forwarded-For header. The traffic passing across the F5 is encrypted, so it cannot be examined or modified. If you use SNAT automap you will not see the client ip address at the proxies. If you remove the automap you have to set a route on your proxies to return client ip traffic to the F5. You can loadbalance the connections using the transparent proxies as members in a gateway pool, with destination ip persistence.
I hope this is helpful.
