I was also dumbfounded by this until I found this thread and set the Big-IP as the Edge server external interface default gateway. Thanks for the info!
Since doing this I've noticed ALL A/V traffic is passing in and out of the VIP setup for the edge a/v services. It works but is not exactly ideal from a networking perspective. Is this additional forwarding VIP needed to enable direct communication with the Edge servers? I read the instructions in this thread:
1. Create a New protocol profile based off of the FastL4 template profile. Enable 'Loose Initiation' and 'Loose Close' on this new profile.
2. Create a new VIP with the following characteristics (Network, Destination = 0.0.0.0, Netmask = 0.0.0.0, Forwarding(IP), and the new client profile you created above.
Being new to F5, I'm somewhat unclear on the second step. Are there any additional configuration options that have to be set; how does this get associated with the Edge servers IP's. Apologies if I'm not understanding this properly.
Thanks for any help
