VIP/SNAT Combination

Hello,

 

im new to the BIG-IP LTM Topic,

 

at the moment i use the same ip addresses for VIP and SNAT for organisation and capacity purposes. In which case am i forced to use more than one SNAT for one VIP?

 

Am i forced to use more than one SNAT when a Client requests content over one specific port to the F5, but the F5 collects the requested Content over several ports from the nodes and will reach the session Limit for this specific SNAT? For example Exchange with pop3,smtp,imap?

 

Thanks for any help! Greetings.
