as far as i understand snat will initiate only if connections are initiated from nodes

 

 

 

You can SNAT incoming connections too (by using the SNAT option on the virtual server). The only reason you'd typically need to is if the LTM is not the default gateway for your nodes. But in this case you're trying to return traffic to the client on a different network from which it came in? I guess I'm not understanding why the DNS returns 65.215.x.y when the virtual server is on 75.115.x.y. If the client is trying to connect to 65.215.x.y then how is that traffic getting to the LTM in the first place? If the ISP is also routing 65.215.x.y to the LTM then you need a virtual listening on 65.215.x.y. Or am I missing something else here?
