Servers behind F5 LB can use not direct connected VPN ??

Dear Sir

 

I have some servers behind F5 LB like to route some traffic thru VPN tunnel when it is not directly connected to F5

 

server1----F5 LB ---Netcreen FW ----Checkpoint FW ( endpoint of VPN) .. server3

 

How to have servers behind F5 LB use the VPN ie. point to (gateway) the Endpoint ?

 

Is that possible ?

 

Very much Thanks

 

Regards Brian

    i don't see why not, just route the traffic you want to towards the Netscreen FW.

     

    is the F5 BIG-IP currently the default gateway of the servers?

     

    if so you can use an IP forwarding virtual server which listens on the VLAN of server1 and and a route on the BIG-IP for the server3 which points to the Netscreen FW.
