I've read that if not using SNAT, then set the backend servers to use the F5 as the default gateway. That was in the comments section below the "Always On VPN IKEv2 Load Balancing with F5 BIG-IP" article on Richard M. Hicks's site. I've been asked about doing this, so I'm starting to learn about it as well.
