Okay, so just to be clear, your clients, F5, and servers are all on the same network segment, not crossing anything greater than a layer 2 device (switch), correct? The clients can directly access the servers on the same network and can ping the F5's VIP, and you can ping the servers from the F5. The gateway shouldn't matter at all if everything is on the same subnet. You have SNAT enabled you should see traffic to the servers coming from the F5's self-IP. That part is correct. Again, the most likely issues are config or layer 2-related. Please do the following:
1. Can you please post and/or describe your config.
2. After you ping the server from the F5, check the F5's ARP table for correct hardware addresses.
3. Do you have any iRules applied to the VIP?
