Configure LTM as a true Full Proxy
In short we need to have the LTM do a Full Proxy. By that I mean the client IP communicates with the VIP via TCP 9091. The LTM in turn opens a separate TCP connection via 9091 to the Application server. If required we can change the port. The only requirement I was given was, the F5 has to proxy the client connection and make a separate call to the App. So basically the backend will either see the Internal Floating IP or I assume an IP address that I would potentially assign?
FYI - For more detail on the Full Proxy see, http://devcentral.f5.com/weblogs/macvittie/archive/2008/10/02/the-concise-guide-to-proxies.aspx
