Hi dexter,

 

I think this is seen as a new request from the F5 and a new load balancing decision is made. This would mean that you might randomly (depending on the load balancing method) fall into this issue.

 

Are you using any persistence profile? If you use persistence based on client IP addresses this problem shouldn't appear. However, if you have loads of client requests with the same IP (like clients behind a proxy or CDN), then I made good experiences with granting a session cookie.

 

Let me know if this helps, Manuel
