load-balancing microsoft RDS w/ iApp

I used the 'f5.microsoft_rds_session_host.v1.0.2rc1' iApp to load-balance two RDS host servers, following the below whitepaper.   https://www.f5.com/pdf/deployment-guides/microsoft-rds-session-hos...

Ok, so I deleted the iApps application and created it again, and this time it worked. Not sure what I had wrong in the first attempt, but it is working now and that's a good thing.

 

While we are on the subject, I have an HTTPS VS with APM policy using Advanced Resource Assign to present webtop and remote destop. The remote desktop is pointing to the iApp application VS and working great to load balance a single published app from multiple MS RDS servers. I noticed the handoff from the APM policy to the iApp VS happens internal (that traffic never leaves the F5). We want to prevent anyone from hitting the iApp VS directly (they must go through the HTTPS VS), but we are not using AFM. Can you suggest a way to restrict this?
