A simple way to get around this is have the people log into the shared floating IP shared between the F5s. This will log the user into the active box which ever it is.

 

ie

box-a - 10.10.10.2 - active

box-b - 10.10.10.3 - standby

floating ip - 10.10.10.4

 

when logging into 10.10.10.4 you will receive the UI for box-a. But if there was a fail over then you would receive the UI for box-b
