Separating APM traffic from LTM traffic
I posted this on the APM forum months ago and didn't get a response. So I'm going to try here since it really isn't an APM thing. Original question:
---
I need a little guidance on how I should deploy APM in our environment.
Having Firepass and the LTM in separate environments today, I'm trying to figure out what to do now they reside on the same box.
Our LTM always pointed traffic to the DMZ burb or zone, while Firepass always sent traffic to a special VPN zone.
How would I do this with APM? As long as I could lock down traffic sourcing from APM to one IP and LTM traffic to another I think that would be fine.

My F5 sale rep told me that "Route Domains" are my answer. I have read the manual entries on "Route Domains" and it is very confusing (So if there are other docs/tutorials on it please let me know. I'm a "learn by example" type of person and I'm missing an example of what I'm trying to do)
Today the Firepass's just have a VIP on the LB, APM sounds like the same thing but we need that traffic to be routed differently. So, frontend/external/Internet can be shared between the LTM/APM. Backend everything but APM related traffic needs to be directed to the DMZ. APM traffic needs to go to another DMZ we have just for VPN use.
Do I need a partition(s) for this? I guess I'll start there, if that is a yes or a no, then i'll try to ask about what is confusing me in the manuals. I am running version 11.2
I hope that this makes sense,
Thank for any help,
