Can a VS redirect traffic away from itself?
Hi,
first post, be nice. ;)
Let's say an F5 appliance is proxying a couple of web servers on IPv4 address A. If there is an incoming request addressed to that IP, is it possible to redirect that traffic away from the appliance to a specified next-hop?
I know it sounds weird. The idea is to have ONE F5 appliance acting as both external and internal appliance, with a Firewall in the middle. An external request to IP A should be redirected to the firewall, if it passes the checks there it return to the F5, on another interface. THEN it should be delivered to the service connected to IP A.
I'm new to F5, did a quick lab and I could not get it to work, it does not forward traffic aimed to itself out an interface. But I've got about 4 days experience, and I'm under a bit of pressure to get this sorted out.
Thanks.
