Sam_D_the reason the wildcard VS is necessary is because that is what creates the forward proxy tunnel between the BIG-IP and the destination that you are trying to reach through the forward proxy. If you didn't have this you wouldn't be able to dynamically configure the destination the way the wildcard VS does. I'm also glad that the article did help sort out the confussion you had on priority of VS.
