NimbostratusLoad Balancing different interfaces
The way I have the BigIP is connected directly to the DMZ interface and then all proxying goes back through the firewall to hosts on the inside interface. But, can the F5 in this particular setup als...
You have the LTM in front of the firewall? My LTMs load balance both internal and DMZ, but all interfaces are behind the firewall. Be careful with your routing, as you can definitely get into trouble. I have no experience with it, but I'd look at route domains to keep DMZ and internal separate. Also be mindful of the problems your firewall can cause. Unless you manage both, it can turn into a lot of finger pointing when there is a problem.
In a perfect world, if I'm load balancing internal and DMZ VIPs, I'd prefer separate LTMs.
