[Linux-cluster] floating IP and firewall access

I have a two node cluster addressed 172.16.1.203 and 172.16.1.204.  They
are configured in active/passive mode.  The active node has the shared
IP 172.16.1.205.   The active node needs to access a server residing in
a protected subnet.  The firewall there has granted access from the
shared IP 172.16.1.205.  When the active node attempts to access the
protected server it does so with its address of 172.16.1.203 and not the
shared address of 172.16.1.205.  Is this by design?
