Cookie persistence on the outside VIP will work in terms of keeping you persistent to your web tier. Then, if you need persistence to the app tier, source IP persistence (doesn't matter whether SNAT enabled or not) on the inside VIP will also work (but is not going to necessarily give you even load across the app tier).

 

If those two combined do not work then it's something outside the F5 that is breaking you. Can't tell you more without more information.

 

Ideally - your web tier will pass client cookies to the app tier, in which case we can use cookies on both inside/outside which will give you more even traffic distribution.
