Virtual Server using real IP Address'

I need to create a Virtual Server that when client sends traffic to the VS and it gets forward to the pool members, the pool members see the source IP address of the client. So I disable SNAT and that part works. The part I'm stuck at and need some guidance is when the pool members replay back, the client needs to see the source IP Address of the individual pool members and not the IP address of the VS. Any assistance on this would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

Regards,

    I'm pretty certain that won't work in a full L7 proxy, if for no other reason than basic routing. A transparent or forwarding virtual server (0.0.0.0/0) with address and port translation disabled would allow true source and destination addresses through, but that's typically used in firewall load balancing situations.

     

     

    You can optionally pass the load balanced server's IP address in an HTTP header back to the client, if that's an option.
