Hi Pav,
It sounds like the application is reading the source IP from the packets as opposed to the HTTP X-Forwarded-For header. If it's possible to change that logic within the application, you could have the app modified to read the XFF header instead.
If you're using the XFF IP value for anything other than reporting, you might want to create a custom HTTP profile with the header to insert set to X-Forwarded-For: [IP::client_addr] and the header to erase set to X-Forwarded-For. This will ensure that any pre-existing XFF header values are erased before LTM inserts the client IP is sees in the header.
