LTM networking issue:

Thank you Vincent. you are correct, the destination is a single address within the range of the wildcard VIP. but unfortunately SNAT:automap on the wildcard VIP, did not help.

you were saying: "...the src IP remains the same, and when the target node replies, it will go directly using default route..." but, why will it go back using default route, while source address (bridged network) is within the mask of a matching self-ip? (bridged vlan-group has a matching self-ip, by instructions) my understanding is that routing table is only used when destination is not in the ranges of self IP netmasks. is that correct? Thanks...
