Help! Is it possible Outbound NAT

Hi all,

 

 

Is it possible to configure / write some iRule to enable reverse NAT where both source and destination is not under the BigIP?

 

 

Here is the case:

 

There are 2 zones, zone A and zone B, both covered by BigIP with different public IP subnet.

 

 

In Zone A, having public IP subnet 200.1.1.x and private IP subnet 192.168.1.x

 

In Zone B, having public IP subnet 200.2.1.x and private IP subnet 192.168.2.x

 

 

There is an application required to talk between these 2 zone, but will send their private IP as "talk list" in payload to others. So machine 1 (192.168.1.1) in zone A will initiate a connection to machine 2 (192.168.2.1) in zone B. As they tried to communicate in private IP, they are not able to connect

 

 

Is it possible / How to setup a reverse NAT , so that the connection from zone A to zone B's private IP 192.168.2.1 can be translated to its public IP 200.2.1.1 in the BigIP of zone A?
