Traffic Routing with out a Snat ?

A Virtual forwarder eh? I think that is the issue I am having. I was able to implement it with the gateway earlier, but then I was unable to manage my hosts directly. I know I could add a box in the domain as a management box, but I would prefer to not do this. I believe the virtual forwarder is the piece of the puzzle I did not discover. Could you please enlighten me to this?

 

 

Unfortunately I do not have an upgrade path from 9.2.5 to a newer version as my devices are only licensed with that version and due to a tight budget we are not able to place the appliances under support right now. (We are a start up with a huge product launch, so everything is not proven and must stay cheap until we get some big traffic).

 

 

Every time I place a VIP on the front end (77.X) network,

 

 

Say I add 77.77.77.8:80 for a different site or service, must I first make that a shared floating IP on the device? Or is the self IP and shared floating IP only needed once, any additional IPs for VIPs can be added as needed with out defining a self IP?

 

 

Thanks a lot guys, the advice is great,
