Thanks for your reply,

For your first reply i would like to get further clarification.

Example

100 - 104 VLAN's are the real Server VLANs. 105 VLAN is the VIP VLAN , which will have virtual IP address for all the real IP Server VLANs. I am planning to use the two IP address in the 105 VLAN for the Firewall , and three IP address in my Load balancer for Self IP of the redundant box and Floating address.

My question is do i still need to have a self IP address in the Real server VLANs like 100-104 .. As per my understanding the SNAT Automap is configured thus if any request from Client comes to my Virtual Servers in VLAN 105, then my F5 will do a SNAT for the source IP address with the Virtual IP address and the destination ip address is the real server IP address.

Kindly let me know the best practices ? or should i have Self IP address for the all the internal VLAN for which am doing load balancing.
Since this is the Cloud Setup, may be tomorrow i will get ten more VLAN which has real servers , i dont want to create Self IP address for each Internal Real server VLAN.

Thanks, Arun
