Shared SNAT and pool in a LTM?

We have a LTM with several virtual servers. All the virtual servers,the destination servers and the SNAT address are in the same IP network 10.220.2.0/23 I have two beginner questions: - Can I have only one SNAT pool and share it between the virtual servers?. - Can two or more virtual servers reference and use the same destination pool through an iRule?. Thanks

    Hi, and welcome. Yes, your SNAT pool can be used by many Virtual Servers - or you could just use 

    SNAT Automap
    on each Virtual Server and not bother configuring a SNAT pool. (The Self IP(s) will be used instead.)

    Pools can be (and often are) used by many different Virtual Servers. There is no need for an iRule to do this.

      If you use SNAT Automap the F5 will use the floating Self-IP associated with the egress VLAN
