NimbostratusThanks hoolio as always .. that raise another query in my mind:
Purpose of SNAT that i can think of are :
1. Your webserver cannot route directly to outside world so it send it back to bigip and big ip send it to outside world.
2. In case there is no SNAT then webserver will directly send it back to client rather then sending it via big ip. Not sure how this is not secure ??
