enable source-nat..(if possible..) but have you also read up on using the "real-port" feature under the VS?
server real blah x.x.x.x port a port b server virt blah x.x.x.x port a port a real-port a bind a blah1 b We're using that under limited deployment b/c of other issues (w/ healthchecking).. This can also be used if you want the VIP to be one port, but the servers all run a different port too..there are many applications for this setup, if only FDRY would figure out the bugs...
