It's been quite a while since this original post, but I will try to help. There isn't really any logic in setting the pool to not allow SNAT and the iRule. Those were two different suggestions to overcome a global SNAT. The iRule should be sufficient on its own. If there wasn't a global SNAT the easiest solution is to simply turn Source Address Translation to none on the virtual server.
