You can add an "X-Forwarded-For" header. That way you can continue to use SNAT auto-map. XFF header adds the clients original IP address to the packets going to the back end server.

 

HERE and HERE are a couple resources that should get you on your way!

 

Hope that helps! If it does please up-vote and select this answer, it'd be greatly appreciated!

    X-Forwarded-For can be added in the HTTP profile. The option has to be "enabled" -The type of XFF also depends on the application. There are a few versions of XFF.

     

    In order to answer, we'll need the application or the Server Operating system version.
