NimbostratusVirtual IP as SNAT Pool IP
Today saw configuration on F5 where F5 Virtual server IP is used as SNAT pool for the same VIP. So when F5 talk to pool member it talks with Virtual IP as a source. Have anyone seen this setup earlier?

I have seen this done before, their reasoning was that this was the only way they could vaguely identify where the request came from on their servers, by tying a request to a VS. The request was NATed so much within their infrastructure that X-Forwarded-For wouldn't have been useful
