NimbostratusIt would probably be easier to configure the source on the virtual server (Link to guide) or do this on a firewall.
When configuring a virtual sever, you can specify an IP address or network from which the virtual server will accept traffic. For this setting to function properly, you must specify a value other than 0.0.0.0/0 or ::/0 (that is, any/0, any6/0). To maximize utility of this setting, specify the most specific address prefixes spanning all customer addresses and no others.
Let's say you wanted to allow 198.x.y.50 and 198.x.y.51. In the source field you would have 198.x.y.50/31. You might want to doublecheck the /31 with documentation, or one of the others here can confirm this.
