Hi,

the issue is because there is no source address translation enabled on the VS (which is good).

enable this irule on the VS to enable the SNAT automap if the pool member is in the same network as the client.

when LB_SELECTED { 
   if {[IP::addr "[IP::client_addr]/24" equals "[LB::server addr]/24"]} { 
      snat automap
   }
}
