Hi Muz,

 

 

The LTM VE can work on bridged and NATd interfaces--not just host only. The first interface is for the mgmt. On a VM host with one external interface I normally set this for host only and then administer the LTMs via a self IP address (if I need to admin the VE off the VM host).

 

 

You could create a second host only interface and VLAN, and put the server(s) on that VLAN.

 

 

Jason wrote a great article on setting up VE:
