Forwarding virtual servers don't have pool members but otherwise, yes.

 

If you wanted to be security minded then you could just open TCP/80 and TCP/443 ( and possibly UDP/53, for DNS ).

 

The other way that you can do it is to configure the F5 as an explicit proxy ( standard VS with modified HTTP profile and DNS resolver ) and set that as the proxy in the server.

 

As with all things F5, you can do it a million ways depending on what you want.
