Forcing "routed" traffic back to gateway

We currently have a LTM 3600 (running 10.0.1), set up in a router-on-a-stick model (vlan based network with backend servers and VIPs logically, but not physically, behind the LTM).     We a...

Yes, but not guaranteed to be the exact same device. (We have two datacenters, L2 connectivity between each one, LTM at each site.) LTM interconnect vlan is L2 common between both data centers, as are the the 10.x subnets/vlans. There are also other vlans (also with L2 between the two datacenters). Only way for those other subnets (and the outside world) to get to the 10.1/2/3 subnets is through the LTM unit.

 

 

There could potentially be 3-4 other switches in the intermediate path between the particular two machines on 10.2 and 10.3.

 

 

I'll be happy to provide more detail as needed, figured on just describing the smallest representative case. (If I actually described the entirety of the deployment, it gets quite a bit more complicated.)

 

 

Why do you ask?
