Thanks for replying Hannes.

 

To answer your question:

 

  1. The backend pool member i.e. the IIS server is listening on port 80 for processing incoming requests. I have configured the same in Load balancing pool. I am trying for SSL offload i.e. SSL terminates on F5 and requests are sent over the wire as normal http

     

  2. Is server SSL applicable as I am not sending any data over SSL. Its just plain HTTP calls from F5 to pool and vice versa.

     

I hope this sheds more light on present problem that I am facing

    Clear, can you share the config with us? Two TMSH commands for that: 'tmsh list ltm virtual MyVirtualServerName' and 'tmsh list ltm pool MyPoolName'.

    Thanks for the config. I don't see any problems. Perhaps someone else will notice something that I'm missing here. Hope you'll get this sorted out
