Assuming you mean you will initiate some sort of connection from the Pool Member server outbound via the F5, it won't be NATted or even permitted without some configuration on your part. A BIG-IP is a deny by default device, traffic is only allowed if handled by a Virtual Server or NAT/SNAT. To allow the server to communicate through the F5 you can do a number of things depending on your needs;
1) Setup a 1 to 1 NAT
2) Setup an SNAT
3) Configure some kind of wildcard Virtual Server enabled on the internal VLAN (a routing VS or similar)
