Logs have pool member ip as client ip. WHY?

I have one virtual server which is load balancing and have an ip of 10.50.171.5(external vlan). Pool members are 10.50.169.14, 10.50.169.16. Now the problem is that when i attach iRule for logging...

Your rule looks OK. Are you sure the pool member really isn't hitting the virtual server 20+ times a second and the logs are completely accurate?

    Yes i am sure that no pool member is hitting VS. (Internal vlan) Pool member 10.50.169.14 Gateway 10.50.169.1(F5 self ip) (External vlan) VS 10.50.171.5 . If the request is initiated from pool member will use default route to get out of F5 through external vlan.

    Ok. IP::client_addr should return the IP of the client. I have used it quite regularly and have never seen the behavior you are describing.
