I think you do not need the nat part of the game. It will work.

 

You will have two sessions: 1. Client to vip addresss: clientip=a, vip=b 2. F5 backend to poolmember i.e. Server ( f5ip address=c. Serverip=s)

 

If you do not turn on automap on the virtual server, c=a. If you turn on automap, c=self ip addres of the f5 of the backend vlan.

 

First thry to do it without Your nat configuration, you are making it complicated while the f5 will so the trick for you
