Please change your iRule as follows:

 

[IP::addr [LB::server addr] equals 202.215.132.119]

 

into:

 

[IP::addr [IP::local_addr] equals 202.215.132.119]

 

The function [IP::local_addr] in the clientside context will evaluate the destination IP:

 

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED { 
    log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: Connected=[IP::local_addr]:[TCP::client_port] [virtual name]"
    if {[IP::addr [IP::local_addr] equals 202.215.132.119] } { 
        snat 124.232.132.94 
        log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port], matched=202.215.132.119" 
    } else { 
        snat automap 
        log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port], not matched=202.215.132.119" 
    } 
}
