not mandatory, but n you will have to double your request for dmz or outside access for the device. firewall rules and such. the floater allows you to allow only 1 ip address for those boxes to communicate outside or thru the dmz.

Monitors uses always self ip even if there is a floating ip!

 

So firewall rules may allow self ip and floating ips if snat is enabled!
