Just to be clear on my understanding, your clients want to load balance ISP connections?

 

What they probably should look at is Link Controller, as LTM is more of a reverse proxy / application load balancer. LC: https://f5.com/products/modules/link-controller

 

The configuration for LTM may be more complex than its worth from a supportability standpoint. It would make more sense if they had multiple VPN end points that they wanted to load balance.

 

That said, the F5 can support a single arm configuration (not changing IPs), and you would probably want to start with L4 Forwarding for testing.
