If you aren't using SNAT, the LTM preserves the client's source IP by default when it sends the packet to the pool member. So the pool member will respond using its' own routing table to the client. If the client is on the same subnet, it's Layer 2 connected and will arp for the client and send the response directly to him, bypassing the LTM. The client will reset that packet, because he never opened up a session with the pool member directly.
