Slightly related to this topic. In a case where you need to preserve the source IP what do you do? SNAT overwrites the source address to itself or from a pool you define.
The only way forward for me I saw was to create seperate vlan's for clients and servers. We already have two for this purpose, so I guess we need more. What we have is that one web service can have multiple data sources which often need to be load balanced themselves. Is there another way this could have been done?
From this post here https://devcentral.f5.com/Community/GroupDetails/tabid/1082223/asg/52/aft/2161864/showtab/groupforums/Default.aspx Micheal Yates mentions v11 has Sideband connections but the hardware we have this running on are 3400's which don't allow v11. and he also mentions snat and modifying Trusted X-Forwarded-For header but this will only apply to HTTP
