Hi Thanks for your post

 

 

Im on version BIG-IP 9.2.4 Build 16.0

 

 

What im trying to do is this

 

 

I have a incoming traffic stream that I want to SNAT.

 

I want to control the way I SNAT the incoming traffic based on a pre-defined ratio (60-40).

 

 

So I want to have 2 separate SNAT Pools with obviously different Subnets in each.

 

 

Im no sure how to do this, without using an Irule.

 

I was wondering if anyone has needed to to this before and use a combination of VIPs, like a 0.0.0.0 VIP with its pool members being VIPs themselves that have SNAT Pools associated to them.
