how did you test?

i created a fake pool and tried to access virtual server (http://172.28.19.79). 

[root@ve10:Active] config  b virtual bar list
virtual bar {
   snat automap
   pool foo
   destination 172.28.19.79:80
   ip protocol 6
}
[root@ve10:Active] config  b pool foo list
pool foo {
   members 200.200.200.102:80 {}
}

[root@ve10:Active] config  tcpdump -nni internal arp
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on internal, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 108 bytes
