NimbostratusLTM Virtual Server bounce back ???
I have two Pools with Nodes in the same network in an LTM (11.3). Each Pool has its own Virtual Server. I have a requirement of one Node in First Pool to connect to the Virtual server of the Second Pool. LTM is the default gateway for the Nodes (it is inline). What is the default behaviour of LTM in this case? Is this a case similar to 'virtual server bouceback' as the Nodes in both the Pools are in the same network and they may not return back the connection through the Virtual Server, but just try to respond back to each other in the same network. Do I have to put a SNAT matching the first Pool's nodes to be SNAT'ed to an IP in the Virtual Server network to make this work?

I think 'snat automap', which will use the floating self-ip of the egress interface should work for you (it's a simpler configuration that matching a snat to a set of source IPs unless there's a particular requirement to do so).
Karthik_KumaranThanks. So if I enable 'SNAT Automap' in the Virutal server of Pool2, A Node from Pool1 hitting the VS of Pool2 will be SNATed to the float-IP of the VS network/vlan, right?
