My initial goal was to keep all the server chatter isolated in their own broadcast domain, and route to the adc only when necessary. In our environment, the ideal location was a series of netblocks (different adc's for different business functions) off the core since all distribution blocks must route to and through the core for client & server access. In one of the datacenters there is only 1 distribution block so the adc's are homed there instead of the core to eliminate unnecessary hops.
Fortunately for me, I was hired during the vendor selection process for the old gear's replacement, so the design was freshly implemented after the adc was selected.
