Thanks for the reply Denny.
I wasn't sure if not using live IP's will impact the LTM in a way such as not passing client IP, etc...basically any caveats to NAT'ing at the firewall vs using live IP's for our VIPs.

So long as you don't NAT the client IP you shouldn't run into any problems. If you do NAT the client IP, you would only have problems if you tried to do srcIP persistence... And discovered you don't get any balancing because all your clients look like one...
1. Don't NAT the client
2. use cookie persistence (Where possible)
And you should be fine.
