@JTrimble - do you also use Riverbed in your environment?
F5 has two core modes of operation - full proxy(also known as Standard), which operates on sessions, and Fastl4, which is a traditional packet-based load-balancing mechanism that doesn't terminate actual TCP connections on F5 but rather performs delayed binding before making load-balancing decision. A full detailed description of each virtual server type with illustrations and their differences can be found in this F5 Solution article:
