CSOC - could you add the proxy servers as Generic Hosts on the GTM. That way the GTM will return the actual IP address of one of the proxy servers themselves, rather than a VIP on an LTM. There are wider considerations on using Generic Hosts, rather than LTM VIPs but the GTM Implementation Guides on Askf5 should help on this.

 

Hope this helps,
