reroute traffic to another VIP after passing to App Server in the back-end

I'm looking that explains how can I reroute traffic after coming from one VIP to the app servers to go back to a second VIP to load-balance between database servers. Do the latter need to be attached...
application delivery
BIG-IP

Thanks much Alex,

1, 2, and 4 are ok but 3 seems to be my problem.

I'm assuming the 3rd step is to configure something o the app servers who are on the back-end of the F5. Is there anything to configured on the F5 that will allow traffic to route back from the app server to the 2nd vip or this is route setup on the app server?

    Correct, it will be somewhere in the App servers that you configure the IP for the db-VS.

    That should indeed be on the app server as well - the app servers need to know how to reach the db-VS - they don't need to know how to reach the actual DB servers.
