Because of the SNAT, the traffic will be returned through the LTM. The purpose of the loopback/masquerade address is just to put the VIP in the packet so the client at the far end gets the correct IP to conenct to.

    thanks for the explanation that clear the confusion . but i dont understand why pool members is responding after 120 seconds . even if VIP is not configured , server can give it's IP and port to client and then it should fail . Also VIP is passthrough so it should pass the certificate to client atleast authenticate . i might be wrong but not able to get the behavior . Thanks
