[f-nsp] Serveriron xl - Def GW for real servers?

Just got a new serveriron xl to replace some old Cisco LD's.

We are wanting to use the device for load-balancing multiple client
co-lo servers (All In different subnets)

>From the docco, it appears as though the VIP for each site we want to
loadbalance for, must be contained within the same subnet as the
management IP?(I was originally going to run a /30 for management, but
it appears as though I will not be able to?)

If I run a /28 (To allow for multiple VIPs), and then have a source
IP(In a different subnet) for each clients webserver(Which would also
have an IP in this different subnet) farm, would each of the clients
Webservers have a default GW of the Source IP on the serveriron?

If the webservers are not configured with a def gw, how would the
clients "manage" there servers (Eg. Would I have to configure ports and
bindings for each service that needs to be accessed - RDP, FTP, SSH
etc?)

Regards,
MB
