I have some non-http servers. I am looking at using no snat and having the servers point to the F5 floater for their default gateway. Without snat, the real ip addreses go the pool member.

Aug 20, 2013If you set up your servers to use the BIG-IP as their default gateway, traffic incoming to the servers will (if enabled) follow the auto lasthop path to return to sender. This is a layer 2 mechanism that records the last "hop" or router and returns to it. On the other hand, now that the BIG-IP is the servers' default gateway, any traffic originating from the server to the world (ie. antivirus updates, etc.) will need a forwarding virtual (listening on the internal interface).
