Lync Server 2010 Deployment Guide Update

This Lync design is killing me, following MS guidelines the Edge server outside interface should be publically routable. Does this mean it needs to be on the same segment as the Internet ans use SNAT with the F5's?, or can I use non public IP's and route through the LTM's that have an interface on the Internet?

 

Another question is if they are public IP's on the edge, do I need another internet subnet and point that subnet through the F5 On the internet? Can I have the same subnet on the Internet as well as on the Edge server outside itnerface yet still point back through the LTM's to get to the Internet?

 

 

It was so much easier just to NAT through firewalls....

 

 

Thanks
