The address translation checkbox in the VIP properties in the GUI refers to destination address only. If you have a network VIP (a VIP with a destination address that does not have a mask of 255.255.255.255) you'll need to leave address translation disabled so LTM doesn't try to change the destination address on the packets.

 

 

Because the iRule is setting SNAT in all cases, the SNAT setting on the VIP will be overridden by the iRule so that property doesn't matter. I think you would need to have SNAT enabled on the gateway pool in order for the iRule SNAT to be used.
