Hi, I am new to irules and I have an issue with one of my customers
where they require a SNAT enabled to route traffic correctly but they
dont want the IP address to be that of the F5 self IP addres...
If it traffic is sourced from the client's IP then the f5 in not SNATing the connection. That would be routed mode for the f5. Now if you need the IP address of the client for the logs. You can use SNAT and then use the x-fowarded header in the HTTP profile to show the server what the true IP address is. If this will not work you can use the TCP options field
