cookie persistence question

If I am using cookie persistence with the HTTP Insert Method, and a pool member is marked down that it previously had a cookie for, does the LTM send the user a new cookie on the browser's next request with the next available pool member's IP and port? Would the user notice an interruption when the pool member fails?

 

Thanks.

    yes - the f5 will set the persistence cookie to a different pool member if the original member goes down

     

    the only interruption a user would see would be at the application level. I suspect that there is a reason persistence is required for this application, so the user may have to start their transaction/session from the beginning, re-login to the service, etc.
