How to setup F5 Big-IP LTM for Weblogic on different ports, same IP

Hi Everyone,   I am a Weblogic/Oracle DB administrator. Currently we are establishing our web application on a Weblogic Cluster using two redundant Big-IP 1600 LTM devices. We have a 9-node Weblog...

Let me give you a better understanding. Initially we had the following setup of our Weblogic cluster:

 

On machine 1 : x.x.x.10:10010 x.x.x.10:10020 x.x.x.10:10030

 

On machine 2 : x.x.x.11:10040 x.x.x.11:10050 x.x.x.11:10060

 

On machine 3 : x.x.x.12:10070 x.x.x.12:10080 x.x.x.12:10090

 

Then , after the first consultant, we had this:

 

On machine 1 : x.x.x.10:10010 x.x.x.11:10010 x.x.x.12:10010

 

On machine 2 : x.x.x.13:10010 x.x.x.14:10010 x.x.x.15:10010

 

On machine 3 : x.x.x.16:10010 x.x.x.17:10010 x.x.x.18:10010

 

Which caused us problems, now we have :

 

On machine 1 : x.x.x.10:10010 x.x.x.10:10020 x.x.x.10:10030

 

On machine 2 : x.x.x.11:10010 x.x.x.11:10020 x.x.x.11:10030

 

On machine 3 : x.x.x.12:10010 x.x.x.12:10020 x.x.x.12:10030

 

I understand there is no limitation on any of the setup of IP/port above. I just want to know which one is "most suitable" for F5. Except the second one (Multihomed servers) the others are OK for Weblogic, and also changing them won't take that long.
