Nimbostratusneed to administer pool members via 443 using the F5 as their default gateway
I have four servers using the F5 as their default gateway using the forwarding VS. They are also, of course receiving traffic on specific vips. How do I access these boxes using https? NAT? SNAT? I assume the asymetric routing wouldn't be an issue either since admins will still attempt to access the boxes using their real ip addresses but return traffic would be going through the F5. Thoughts?
Thank you,

You could:
-
Create an HTTPS VIP and pool for each server.
-
Create a 1-to-1 NAT for each server.
You shouldn't need a SNAT if the BIG-IP is their default gateway.

it goes a bit against the deny all device concept but when the security isnt an issue you can also create an ip forwarding server towards the network in which the servers are located.
