BIG-IP : redirect loop : debugging techniques
BIG-IP 11.4.0 Build 2384.0 Final
In my hosts file I point www.mydomain.com to my web-server IP, and in my client-browser I submit the request
http://www.mydomain.com/natural-language-url-1 ...
Do curl -v -H servername.com http://...... To both the virtual and the server. See if either succeeds, and if the results are different.
Post here the entire redirect response So we see the server header.
Check server events log it should tell you why it is redirecting.
It is also possible that the server is not accepting connections from the selfip subnet. You have SNAT automap on the VIP.
Here is curl request direct to web-server :
C:\Windows\System32>curl -v -H web-server-1.devtest.mydomain.com www.mydomain.com/natural-language-url-1 |more

I'm leaving the rest out because it's a few thousand lines of content ( headers, cookies, html ).
