Are you trying to load balance this traffic? What protocol is the application using? Does the application need to initiate its own connections back to the client?
I'm guessing a Performance layer4 VIP with a FastL4 profile without SNAT on the virtual server might work.

it's a protocol proprietary to this application, but would the protocol matter at all? i want to forward packets without analyzing/parsing/changing them at all. this is why i had mentioned that we have succeeded in doing this through checkpoint.
as far as connections - the client initiates the starting handshake and makes all requests after. there is a socket that's kept open but the server itself never makes an initial request to the client. i have tried making a snat for this particular machine but that didn't seem to do anything.
fastl4 + performance layer4 + address/port translation + no snat works for *everything else* i can throw at it (msrdp, http, etc) but not this protocol.
