Create a Virtual server with Forwarding(IP) and none in source address translation. Instead of using F5 external IP as translating address you need to use the F5 public interface IP.

 

referring back to the diagram you posted. not sure what settings you are adding for Source address transaltion and what type of SNAT or NAT you have configured.

 

thanks
