Thank you for replying so soon. I should have said in my original post that I don't want to change anything in the SIP message at all. It's just the IP packet that I wish to change.

 

The end goal I'm trying to achieve is to leave the client's IP as-is but change the destination address to whichever node in the pool is selcted by the load balancer. I want to pass the SIP request unaltered to the back end servers.

 

I've tried using both the standard and fast-4 type of attributes to achieve this on my virtual server, but can't seem to get it to do what I need.
