CirrostratusGTM hands out private IP addresses, need it to hand out public/translated IPs
I want the GTM to balance on a pool of servers that are behind a firewall at a remote data center:
Server A has private IP 192.168.1.1, translated IP 198.19.1.1
Server B has private IP 192.168.1.2...

CirrostratusYou're right; I had it backwards. Translation is the internal/private/real IP, whereas address is the external/public/mapped IP.
So the good news is the GTM now hands out the public IPs.
The bad news is I need the Tomcat healthcheck to use the internal IP, since Tomcat is not exposed to the public. I can't find any way to force this. Going to ask F5 support.

AltostratusTo test the private IP:tomcat you can create a virtual server for the private IP and apply the monitor there. This VS would not be in a wip pool, it is only for monitoring. Then in the public VS properties add the private VS to the dependency list. Now if pirvate IP:tomcat VS is down the public VS will also be down. Another method would be to create a monitor and configure the alias address and alias service port to test the private IP and Tomcat port. Then assign that to the public VS. With this second method you won't need to create the second private VS.
