Preserving Client IP address for SMTP traffic

Hello Aaron,

 

 

I'm facing some similar problems with this "simple" type of configuration.

 

 

I have a VServer with public IP, Performance (http) type, with a pool with 1 server (private ip). No SNAT configured, so i guess i should see the client IP Address when someone "hits" the VServer.

 

The server has a way to see the client ip address and is always showing the F5 self ip of the internal vlan.

 

 

Physically, i have the following scenario:

 

[Router] --- [F5] ---- [FW] ---- [Server]

 

 

[Router] - [F5] -- Public IP

 

[F5] - [FW] - Private IP (routed zone)192.168.250.0/24

 

[FW] - [Server] - Private IP (DMZ) 10.100.149.0/24

 

 

 

If i have no SNAT configured in VServer, why is the packet arriving on the server with the source IP of the Self IP Address of F5 Internal Vlan ?

 

 

What i was hopping was to see the real ip clients o my webservers fo variuos proposes.(Statistics, control, security, etc...)

 

 

Best Regards,
