Have a series 9 BigIP do switching instead of SNAT

Hi,     I've been trying to find a way to get a series 9 (9.4.4) BigIP to do switching instead of nat so that requests to servers come from the real originating IP and not the load balance...

I should also add that you could just add a global SNAT that is only enabled on the internal VLAN, so that only outbound connections are SNAT'ed. I just typically favor the forwarding/routing approach because it usually makes server admin easier.
