Correct, Nitass,

 

outside network <-> LB <-> Inside Network ( Cisco L2 sw stack ) - cisco blade sw's <-> Blade Servers

 

 

We have NAT (destination) enabled but SNAT is disabled on F5.

 

Sometimes, I find the arp entry in INCOMPLETE state and sometimes I find the ARP entry. It's so intermittent. Server guy replaced the NIC as well but still the same. Do you think SNAT Automap would do any help? Also, please note that we have BladeServer NIC's teamed using Smart Load Balancing so we learn two mac-addresses for one single IP.
