Thanks for the response. Actual requirement is something like this:

Internet

|

|

External Firewall

|

|

F5 LTM

|

|

Internal Firewall

|

|

Servers

Excuse my poor drawing skills. F5 will be acting like a DMZ between actual servers and internet users. For the most part, its a straight forward configuration where in requests come in from internet, land on the firewall, get NATed to a private IP which is local only between F5 and Ext Firewall, gets to F5, F5 will have a VIP listening on the NATed IP and F5 sends to internal firewall, internal firewall NATs it again to the actual core IP on the server VLAN and send to servers.

I don’t know if this is a feasible solution yet since this is all in the POC stage right now.

Please give your recommendations.
