SNAT Issue with two virtual servers

So, what's happening is this.

server B calls VIP a - src : 192.168.103.211 dst : 192.168.100.141

VIP a sends to server a - src : 192.168.103.211 dst : 192.168.103.125

server A responds to request - src : 192.168.103.125 dst : 192.168.103.211

• That's a problem since server b is not expecting to be talking to that address, and has no session to associate the connection with.

Usually you don't need to worry about SNAT when the servers default gateway is the F5. However, you've just hit on one of the situations that does require some grooming. Do be careful if you do decide to put SNAT on the VIP as it will change the way all of the traffic appears on the back end server.
