From my understanding, your SELF-IP has to be assigned to a given VLAN configured on the F5. The VLAN can either be comprised of a F5 created trunk or single interface. That should allow you to force all traffic out through a single interface.

 

Our typical configuration consists of the VIP and Application servers all existing on the same subnet so you should be good there. Basically the client would connect to 10.1.1.15, the F5 would SNAT to 10.1.1.10, then talk to one of the pool members (i.e. App Server A or App Server B).
