CirrusHello,
Depends on what 's your receive string configured.
If you kept it as blank, F5 will mark server up unless thers's a time out. This means the application is down and giving you 404 or 500 error, still your pools will be active.
You can change the recieve string to 200 OK so that F5 will mark pool member offline if the response is no 200 OK.
Also check the status of your health monitor running curl from F5 if server is down and make sure that there are no surprises.
curl -v http://yourserverip.com/lbchk/apchk.asp
Hope this helps.
