thanks guys here is the flow of traffic confirmed via snoops and sniffer:
FLOW
----------
from server C ---> into interface 1.2(myVip) ---> out to server B --->returning to interface 1.1 --->out of interface 1.3
I do have a forwarding vip configured on BigIP going out of interface 1.2! SNAT will not work because it only masks the source for the member server and once it conversts the source back to the original destination BigIP follows normal routing rules and forwards out of the interface designated for the originating server. in my case that server is locally known on a different interface than from which the BigIP recieved the traffic on.
sorry this config is so convoluted we have 4 core switches in this datacenter and redundant paths makes for crazy configurations some times!
