IF the servers are on the same subnet of bigbip AND configuring BigIp as their default gateways I can disable SNAT and when a user contact a VIP the packet is forwarded to the servers with the real user address as source. The servers, replying to the user address via their default gateway, will use then the BigIp that forward back the packet as it does on a normal pool request.
IF the servers are on a different subnet of BigIP this is not possible because they bypass it replying directly to the users.
