SNAT vs Auto-map

Any advantage to setting up SNATs versus just using the auto-map function in the virtual server?     Thanks,       -Ken

A little more control... (e.g. seggregation of traffic by srcip).

 

More connections... (Important for lots of short lived connections where you may run out due to the 2xMSL TIME_WAIT status, or just for really busy LTM's)
