Question about Big/IP version 3.11

I currenlty have a PIX firewall in front of the BIG/IP that acts as both a
firewall and handles the NAT.

I am thinking about moving the BIP to the same level as the PIX and not
having the web servers go through the PIX.

So, I would use the BIP for NAT.

My questions are:

1. Does this kind of config make sense

2. Is it possible to have return/outbound traffic go around the BIP and
straight to the internet? If so, how?

3. Are there any security concerns in doing what I mention above?

4. Sould I upgrade to 4.x first?
