F5 load balancing

If I have 4 IP addresses behind a F5 load balancing device, and I send a request to the F5, is there a way by means of commandline utilities that I can determine where the F5 would have sent the request Thanks

    At a minimum you could log the load balancing decision:

    when LB_SELECTED {
    log local0. "Client: [IP::client_addr] load balanced to [LB::server addr]"
}

    You can also tcpdump on the internal interface (where the servers sit) and watch where the traffic is going.
