Nov 09, 2010Well, I haven't made much progress: as suggested, a tcpdump only showed an arp and the proper response (i.e., the vip belonged to the mac of the internal interface on the active LTM). I haven't done any sniffing from the relay host itself (it's a windows machine, so not so easy), but since I'm only seeing an ARP request on the LTM, I don't think I'm going to see anything at the pool member.
Just a bit more background: my vip is on my internal interface and is using snat (as it's pool members are on the same vlan). The standby LTM cannot access any of my vips though: I cannot access vips on the external or internal interface. The active LTM though can; I can use telnet to open any vip, on either the external or internal interface.
