By default, the BigIP was not able to go back out to the internet and load balance a remote internet host without causing asymetrical routing. I figured there was just some sort of proxy or NAT iRule function to properly go about this the right way.
I was able to solve the problem by turning on the "auto-map" SNAT setting on the VIP. That way once a connection comes into the BigIP, it translates the source IP address as the BigIP, and sends it out the external interface. Im much happier the feature is more or less "built in".
