If you don't mind me saying so I think you've rather rushed your design and done it 'on the fly'. You've got it working but I'm not sure its ideal. I don't know enough about your requirements or vCMP to really comment myself but perhaps it would be a good idea to take a step back and consider if what you've ended up with is actually suitable for your needs?
A few points;
- I don't think you'd put a VMWare host on the same network as the Virtual Machines/Guests running on it, not sure why you'd want to do so in this case with vCMP.
- Will you have to manage your VM servers through the F5? Is this desirable?
- Wouldn't it be better to SNAT at a firewall or something else?
- Do you have a 'routing' VS for that outbound traffic?
- You've effectively created a 'stub' network, is that what you want?
You get the idea, just something to consider.
