Lab 2.3: Testing
----------------

- :bred:`gateway-mode testing`, the lab's inbound desktop client includes
  static Hosts entries that match the real IPs of the internal web server:

  - test0.f5labs.com = 10.20.0.90
  - test1.f5labs.com = 10.20.0.91
  - test2.f5labs.com = 10.20.0.92
  - test3.f5labs.com = 10.20.0.93
  - test4.f5labs.com = 10.20.0.94

  And a static persistent route that points 10.20.0.0/24 traffic to the BIG-IP
  outbound (external) VLAN self-IP (10.30.0.100).
