Jun 04, 2010Hi Neil,
However I'm specifically asking about receiving traffic on the external interface and load balancing back out on that interface.
That's not a problem at all. If the servers don't have a route to the client back through LTM, you'd want to enable source address translation on the virtual server. The simplest way to do this is to enable SNAT automap. LTM will then use the floating self IP on the egress VLAN to source traffic to the pool members.
