If you want the traffic to passthrough the F5 untouched, you could use a performance L4 virtual server. This will leave most traffic untouched and distribute it how you would like. If you want a simple NAT, you could configure a Forwarding IP virtual server. This will take in traffic and send it out the the interface specified with the IP address configured with SNAT.

 

Documentation for the L4 VS and the Forwarding IP VS

 

Hope this helps.
