Destination Based SNAT / NO SNAT

I wanted to see if it was possible to create an iRule that I could apply to an IP forwarding VIP to remove a SNAT.     Example:     Say Network 172.16.0.0/24 wants to talk to 10....

A SNAT can provide similar functionality to a VIP and iRule, but the iRule gives you more granularity (source and destination hosts/subnets and ports), the ability to log connections and more specific statistics (b virtual show all versus b snat show all). If the SNAT functionality works for your requirements it is a simpler config option and is probably more efficient than a VIP and iRule.
