Inline load balancing and "Loose Initiation" & "Loose Close"

Hi People,   We have a inline load balancing design for Lync (and other applications) where we configure the Lync_edge servers inline (behind the LTM).   Therefore this demands a fastl4 profile...

But i was suggested to enable also "Loose Initiation" & "Loose Close" but not really sure if we need it.

 

This configuration accepts traffic and forwards it using the information contained in the system routing table, regardless of whether it is associated with an established connection.

if it is not the case, you do not need to enable loose initiation and loose close configuration.
