I am in the same boat as Nacho, only I am in fact doing HTTP (not SMTP). I researched this long ago and I remember hearing that, do do this, I'll need an iRule set up and I'll need an ISAPI filter installed on my webserver (that is going to be logging the source IP address).

 

 

Currently, because I have SNAT enabled, all my webservers are seeing the 'SOURCE ADDRESS' value as the value of my F5, and I need to pass on the true source address of our end users. Would you be able to assist with the iRule and the ISAPI filter?

 

 

Thanks,
