preserve client IP on layer 4 VIP

Is there a way to preserve a layer 4 VIP that uses auto map without putting a standard VIP in front of it and turning on x forward?

Since Fast L4 VIP does not have the luxury of using HTTP XFF header, the only way to me is to turn SNAT off and change backed servers' default gateway to point to f5 selfip.
