HHTP Requests not getting through

If you don't need to see the client IP as the source of the load balanced packets to the servers, you could enable SNAT automap on the VIP. This will ensure the servers respond back to LTM for the VIP traffic but allow you to keep the default gateway on the servers set to the other router. For HTTP/S traffic, you can enable X-Forwarded-For insertion on a custom HTTP profile. This allows LTM to pass the original client IP in a custom HTTP header in requests to the pool members.

 

 

If you did want to have LTM act as the default route for the servers, you could configure forwarding VIPs enabled only on the server VLAN to allow LTM to route the non-load balanced traffic from the servers. If you want details on this option, let us know.
