If your pool members are down is the Virtual Server not also down? If so then it will not be processing any traffic, i.e. not allowing the TCP connection so not going to get any HTTP requests.

 

If your Virtual Server is up and accepting traffic then my guess is Request Logging only executes on successfully forwarded or returns traffic.

 

Think an iRule would be required to log your missing requests but would only work if the Virtual Server is up and accepting traffic even with the pool members down.
