SNAT is for response from the servers While SELF-IP is for request from the remote end (client).

 

I'm not exactly sure what you're saying here, but a SNAT is a mechanism to transform the client source address on ingress (request) to a locally-managed address on the F5 for the purposes of forced routing. Automap is a SNAT function that changes the client source to one of the F5's selfIP addresses. You can either specify a SNAT address literally, or allow Automap to select a selfIP. Using the SNAT command with a selfIP address allows the F5 to transform the client source to that IP address.

 

Using the snat command with a self IP address should get you what you need.
