Right now it is just a proof of concept idea.  Part of the problem is that F5 
the we own does not do reverse proxying,. At least not without running an iRule 
that no one on their support department will support you on.  Unless I am 
completely missing something.

I have a situation where a backend server defined in HAProxy may be a vip on 
our F5.    The F5 vip is setup for source persistence.  Right now all the 
requests to this vip from the haproxy  box are all going to one pool member.  
Obviously the f5 is seeing the ip of the server and not the true client.  I do 
have haproxy sending out the X-Forwarded-For. But the f5 does not see it.

So let me get this right. You've got a BIGIP sitting behind a HAProxy instance? 
Why are things configured this way?

Anyone have an example of how  scenario like this would work?   Do I need to 
modify haproxy or is this an f5 issue?

Thank you again  in advance..
