Hi John,

You can enable SNAT for a single IP using a SNAT with the Origin set to the one client IP and a Translation of automap (or an explicit SNAT pool if you don't want to use a floating self IP). You could also use an iRule like this: 


 http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/default.aspx/iRules/SelectiveSNAT.html

when LB_SELECTED {  
   if {[IP::addr "[IP::client_addr]/24" equals "[LB::server addr]/24"]} {  
      snat automap 
   }
}
