Redirect Traffic to Web Caching Proxy Server

Hello:

 

 

I am new to the BigIP appliance. I am trying to direct specific traffic to a web cache proxy server (BlueCoat). I think I have found out how to do that using a Wildcard Virtual Server. It seems to work, but it is changing the Client IP to the Self IP of the BigIP box. I need to see the client IP address in order to track and control web traffic from the users.

 

 

I have an SNAT with Automap / All Addresses / ALL VLANS enabled. Do I need to create an iRule to force it to keep the original client IP address? If so, can someone suggest an iRule to use?

 

 

Thanks.
