You can configure LTM to use any IP address for source IP translation without a rule. You can create a snat pool and add the virtual server IP as the pool member. Then set the VIP to use the SNAT pool.

 

 

Hopefully, the pool members have a route back to LTM for the VIP address. If the VIP and servers aren't on the same subnet and the servers don't have LTM as their default gateway, they may not have a route back.

 

 

If you did want to use an iRule for some reason, you can use the snat command (snat 1.1.1.1) where 1.1.1.1 is the address you want to use for the source IP translation.
