AltostratusHow to make outbound traffic to flow through an F5
Hello, We have an F5 LTM that front our backend middleware server-pair in a HA setup. So F5 serves as a LB that forward incoming traffic to the active one. But we also need the backend server...

AltostratusSorry, words are difficulty to explain what we need. So I put together the below diagram. What I want to achieve is a completely transparent migration with zero interruption to business. Ultimately, the migration is to save money - taxpayer's money. Hope the diagram is clearer.
thanks so much for your input!

EmployeeYeah, the solution I provided should solve that problem as described in the picture. But there may be other issues I am not aware of.

While you have laudable aims, you probably need to make a choice between your goals.
You can save money, and risk having disruptions, or you can accept that a seamless migration with minimal disruption will include the cost of engaging F5 Professional Services.
Even a solid discussion with your F5 Account team/F5 Sales will put you on a better footing.
While the DevCentral is a great resource, it isn't a support organisation, and if you have an issue on the day there isn't anyone to call. If the migration is critical, engage with the people who do things like this professionally. Even if it costs a bit more.
