Hi Alfonso,
For admin access to the servers, you can set up a wildcard virtual server with a FastL4 profile enabled on the VLAN the traffic will come into the LTM on. If you enable Loose Initiation and Loose Close on the FastL4 profile, LTM will not try to manage the TCP connections in its connection table.
But I'm not sure I understand why you're trying to have the real servers respond directly to the clients (not through LTM) if the servers have LTM as their default gateway. Do you have static routes on the real servers back to the clients through a different router?
For load balanced traffic, the configuration where the servers respond directly back to the clients is called nPath in the F5 world. You can search AskF5.com for details on configuring this. It doesn't sound like you're asking about direct server response for load balanced traffic though.
