I think that's not the apropiate way to deploy LC for inbound traffic at least. As you state, the LC start to resolve WIDE (FQDN) to one of the Virtual Servers you have, so if they were private addresses, what user would get is an unreachable IP for the looked up domain so you may want to reconsider your desing an put the LC over the FW, use it's corresponding public IP addr. and get firewall a new private IP assingment to be used between it and the F5.

 

 

Good luck,
