Vanderlei which TMOS version? do you see something in the apm log at that moment?

If you are sure about a bug, please open a support ticket, F5 support should be able to get to the bottom of this quite quickly.

Im not sure it is a bug, but the current version of Big IP is 15.1.8 and in APM see logs like:

Jan 7 03:47:07 <bigiphostname> notice tmm1[22602]: 01490585:5: /Common/<access policy name>:Common:71818fdc: Access to <external or internal url> rejectedbecause it points to reserved address.

Im not sure but the <external or internal url> is one rewrite try by Portal Rewrite / iRULE

    Not really sure what you mean with "Im not sure but the <external or internal url> is one rewrite try by Portal Rewrite / iRULE"

    But do these URLs point to the a Self IP or localhost (127.0.0.1) on the BIG-IP? As mention in the K article what does dev tools show?

    Ill point to F5 support again, they can do a remote session with you and much easier look into this.
