NimbostratusRouting and VIPs
I have a question regarding how routing can be accomplished between subnets or (interfaces) with the Big-IP I have. I have an F5 that has interfaces on the (inside, dmz, and a couple of other subnets). Some traffic from outside will be diverted to the DMZ, to the F5, the VIP will then direct it to the inside, to go back through that dmz interface to the firewall and then to the inside interface.
The way I want to have it setup is to be directed to the dmz, but then go to the inside without going back through the firewall. Is this possible since I do have those vlans (interfaces) already connected on the F5? So if a request on the F5 Big-IP that is in the DMZ has to go to the inside will it go through that interface w/o going through the firewall first?

Not sure if I understand your needs right, but in case your routing on the F5 is configured corret for the internal network, you could make use of the SNAT (depending on the sizing needs 'automap' would be fine). If your application does not allow SNAT, you could route the Server answers to the F5 or (maybe preferable) confiugure nPath routing...

I think it all depends on the routing you have setup on the BIG-IP. I would say it is possible, but I can't say for certain because I don't know exactly what your network infrastructure looks like. Can you possibly post a high level diagram?
