The main distinction in a one-armed configuration vs in-line is the LTM is the gateway in an in-line setup and the Source address is able to be preserved.

 

 

VS a one-armed config where as long as the pool members are able to route back to the LTM you can provide ADC services..

 

 

Keep in mind if this is web traffic you can still preserve the source by using an HTTP profile and inserting the XFF header.. Fine for HTTP, but you will need to terminate SSL to insert the XFF for HTTPS.
