What subnet is the internal server on vs the external client subnet?
The quickest blind-shot way to fix this is usually to set "Source Address Translation" to "Automap" on the LTM virtual server.

Have you set Source Address Translation to Automap yet?
You need address translation enabled because otherwise, you need to have routing between the two subnets. The routing has to be such that the traffic is all flowing through the F5, and never directly between the client and the server.
