    Hi Sunnyman,

    This will work;

    if { [IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals 1.1.1.1] || [IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals 1.1.1.2} { 
    SNAT with 1.1.1.100
    snatpool VM_SNAT_POOL_1_1_1_100
} elseif { [IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals 1.1.1.11] || [IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals 1.1.1.12} { 
    SNAT with 1.1.1.100
    snatpool VM_SNAT_POOL_1_1_1_200
}

    But that's not a very scalable way of doing it if your list is going to grow. If it's going to grow then use an address datagroup, with values snatpool names, which you can use like this

    snatpool [class match -value [IP::remote_addr] equals dg_sunnyman_snatpools]

    or more correctly;

    set snatpool [class match -value [IP::remote_addr] equals dg_sunnyman_snatpools]
if {$snatpool ne "") {
    snatpool $snatpool
 }

Hi Joanna Thanks a lot for your solution, when i changed the the virtual server type to "Standard" and add "HTTP Profile", it works fine! But now i have another issue: now i want to do URL-rewrite to another port number on another server. For example when clinets want to see "abc.com/ukm", i want to change it to "1.1.1.1:8080/xyz". I've checked it with below script, but i didn't work. Am i wrong?

 if {[string tolower [HTTP::host]] starts_with "abc.com" && [string tolower [HTTP::path]] eq "/ukm"} {

HTTP::header replace Host "1.1.1.1:8080"
HTTP::uri "/xyz"

}
