if (http_uri starts_with "/wavapp") {
   use pool DMZ_POOL
   log "HOST: " + http_host
   log "URI: " + http_uri
}
else if (http_uri starts_with "/epermitting") {
   use pool DMZ_POOL
   log "HOST: " + http_host
   log "URI: " + http_uri
}
else {
   discard
}

Above is my rule. The fire wall is opened for port 4150 so my virtual server on bip which is doing the load balance is on port 4150.(Well i am not sure if such a port is okay for http service and is causing the problem). So from the public server the proxy pass takes you to virtual server 4150 to be load balanced. I tried http cookie and did not work properly with the rule. Simple persistence seems to work a bit but every now and then the proxy error pops up.

Thanks
