SNAT vs Auto-map

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

With 10.x tcpdump, you can also see the virtual server name in the packets. This line shows a SNAT to pool member SYN which was via the http_10.1.0.15_vs virtual server:

 

 

14:05:19.472966 IP 10.1.0.11.50954 > 10.1.0.100.http: S 3232923316:3232923316(0) win 4380 out slot1/tmm0 lis=http_10.1.0.15_v

 

 

A VS specific SNAT pool is still useful, but figured I'd throw this out there too.
