I agree that loose option can be good, but only if you have a plain network without some security zones, what I mean is that if you have firewalls between you point A and B the firewall will be stateful and because of that it will block the traffic before the F5 so the loose option will not be in use.

 

 

IMHO a firewall should do firewalling, a router should do routing and a ADC should do loadbalancing as far as you can.

 

Some service I know by myself canĀ“t be used with SNAT so then the F5 will be the router.

 

SNAT is also not so fun for server administration guys but they can be learned =)

 

 

 

Good though that this topic came up =)
