From my desktop I am not able to ping both 10.100.117.254 nor 216.21.117.254.
If You want to ping from PC to the VLAN behind (216.x -> 10.x) without intervening with load balancing You have to set up IP forarding, which is described above. The box does not act as a router by default.
Shouldnt I be making a VS for 216.21.116.10 that uses a pool that includes the 10.100.116.10 node?
Yes, this should be done - this is done to load balance and mangle with traffic to the webserver in 10.x network and making it accessible under 216.x address. The above virtuals may help for example, when You will set up Nagios in 216.x and want monitor directly nodes in 10.x.
Try to check, if You can ping from F5 to PC and make some dumps on outgoing interface. If You will see outgoing traffic, the problem is on Cisco. If not, check also interface eth0 - if You see the traffic there, You have probably problem with route setup.
Try to read the docs, there is pretty good description on setting up default gateways as pool and usage of IP Forwarding servers.
