Hi Jie,

    destination 172.29.4.17:8080
    ip-protocol tcp
    mask 255.255.255.255
    persist {
        testAPP {
            default yes
        }
    }
    pool test.CLIENT.com-8080
    profiles {
        http { }
        tcp { }

    source 0.0.0.0/0
    source-address-translation {
        type automap
    }
    translate-address enabled
    translate-port enabled
    vs-index 95
}

persist {
    encryptedcookie {
        default yes
    }
}
