Ah. Thanks for that, it's clear now. So, SNAT will always take precedence over NAT in this scenario. You have a few options but I'd suggest an iRule would be best, along with a second SNAT Pool with IP 1.1.1.1. The rule would look like this;

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
 if { [IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals 10.2.1.24] } {
  Select alternative SNAT Pool if this is 10.2.1.24
  snatpool 'name' }
  All other hosts will use the SNAT Pool assigned to the VS (1.1.1.2)
}
