Hello syediman,

 

"The[ir] question is if it is possible to have traffic from multiple external vlans and going to single internal vlan for both forward and reverse traffic from servers."

 

We have several data centers with F5s operating in a similar fashion. Multiple external VLANs to multiple internal VLANs (however one VLAN in specific is most used). We use SNAT pools, but since you only have one Internal automap should be okay. No issue with carrying multiple VLANs, we actually carry both external and internal on the same trunk. (F5-on-a-stick) Static route to get to 2.2.2.0/24 is a must.
