You'll need to configure a virtual server or SNAT to allow the servers to originate traffic through LTM. The best option would be to configure a virtual server which points to a pool of one or more gateways with a FastL4 profile. You may need to enable SNAT on the outbound virtual server to ensure responses go back through LTM. You should also enable the outbound virtual server only on the servers' VLAN. This will ensure that only the servers will be able to use this VIP to route through LTM.
