We have a potential client that uses F5 BIG-IP servers for load balancing. In determining if we could cleanly integrate our product with their Load Balancers, I started looking at the API's provided by F5. The problem is, I can't run any custom code with their API's without an F5 server. Does anyone know if there is a software equivalent for testing?
As I'm trying to learn how the F5 product works, creating my own mocks doesn't help. I want to hit various API functions, and learn what gets returned.

F5's BIG-IP is a family of products covering software and hardware designed around application availability, access control, and security solutions. That's right, the BIG-IP name is interchangeable between F5's software and hardware application delivery controller and security products.
The F5 Virtual Server is a traffic management object on your F5 BIG-IP device. It is the representation of multiple servers to the user as a single server. The F5 Virtual Server is a virtual IP that serves user requests. It transmits the requests to the pool that you configure.
For reference of anyone else trying to do the same thing, F5 is now releasing a virtual edition of BIG-IP Server.
