    The rule is pretty simple: when CLIENT_ACCEPTED { snatpool WM-SNAT member 192.168.2.22 } It continues to function as if I hadn't specified a member. I'm suspecting it may just be a bug. If I specify an IP address with "snat [IP]", it seems that IP must already be configured in a SNAT pool, or else the F5 won't respond to ARPs. So that issue is explainable. Thanks Norman

    just tested and used... when CLIENT_ACCEPTED { snatpool snat_pool member 172.16.17.37 } and works on v10 perfectly and v11, maybe a bug :S
