Basically, i would need to create a new virtual server of type "network" that sets the destination to any networks that i need to reach and set ports to *. I would use Type = IP and Protocols = ALL. You mention "assuming the necessary routes are in the routing table". Can you expand on this? Also, would i need to set the default gateway of my web servers to be a self IP on the respective VLAN? How do the web servers know where to forward traffic?
