LTM multiple interface/vlan routing issue

I have a dilema that i believe has a remedy utilizing the many tools BigIP has but am unable to discover or maybe comprehend it! need help!

 

 

here is the scenario:

 

I have an environment with four core switches servicing many different vlans and environments. we have connected our LTM to all switches and seperated communications by vlan and interface. this all seems to work perfectly for external users that are attempting to access services behind the BigIP's, but i have an issue with servers from one of the connected vlans for BigIP accessing the VIP address for services behind BigIP. this is i assume an asyncronous routing issue that shoul dbe resolvable.

 

 

The breakdown:

 

 

Successful scenario:

 

 

1.From the User’s vlan

 

2.To the BigIP VIP address vlan

 

3.To the Application Server

 

4.Back to BigIP

 

5.Back to the User

 

 

 

 

Unsuccessful setup

 

 

1.From the Server Vlan

 

2.To the BigIP VIP address vlan

 

3.To the Application Server

 

4.Back to BigIP

 

5.failes back to the Server

 

 

PLease help i can explain it more indepth if need be.
