I'm not using oneconnect. to my understanding the bigip inserts the session cookie encoded with the server ip and the port number. this cookie is then used by the client as long as the browser is not closed. so in my case this cookie is somehow being deleted and the bigip is inserting a new cookie redirecting the request to the second server. tcpdump is showing the server ips and the two bigip cookies. I'm using the out of the box cookie persistence. what is bothering me is the cookie is the fact that the cookie is being changed randomly and several times in the same request !!! it just bounces from server one to server two and then back several times !!

I searched a bit and found some references to similar behavior that point to this SOL: https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/7000/900/sol7964.html Can you try the iRule to detach the server-side connection for each request?
