So for my case, if I access www.google.com from my server, www.google.com will be translated to default_gateway_pool members IP address. is it correct?

 

 

I have read the configuration guide of BIGIP LTM. This guide told me that NAT is a one-to-one mapping and can do address translation for incoming and outgoing connection.

 

 

I have mixed up "Address Translation" in virtual server and NAT. They are not the same thing.
