Nimbostratusreverse proxy on F5
Hello
we have setup in which the reverse proxy is currently configured on the internal server .
We were trying to find if we can move the reverse proxy from the internal server to F5 Load balancer ...

You don't need a reverse proxy behind the LTM. Your pool of servers, assigned to the VIP, should just be your web servers.
On another note, I think it's also important to reflect on the word "redirect" in your statement. The word "redirect", especially with HTTP, means something specifically as it relates to communication flow. An HTTP redirect is the issuance of a 30x type message that tells the client to make a new request to a different URL. No traffic passes through the proxy. In the absence of a redirect, traffic passes (or is "forwarded") through the proxy to the pool of server resources.
