If I enable SNAT pool, the Source Ip will be natted on which direction? the direction going to the internal servers pool or the direction facing the external client?

 

 

virtual pptp_time_vs { destination 219.225.11.3:any snatpool pptp_snatpool ip protocol tcp profile fastL4 pool pptp_pool

 

pool pptp_pool { monitor all gateway_icmp member 192.168.3.34:any

 

snatpool pptp_snatpool { member 211.24.161.34

 

 

Can I say that if a client initiate a connection to server pool, F5 will initiate a conenction to the server pool with the Source IP= F5 physical IP (not floating IP) which facing the internal server pool.Then server pool return traffic enters F5 & source IP natted as 211.24.161.34 or 219.225.11.3? Does SNATpool natted Source IP of traffic back to client or going out to server pool?
