Many Thanks James.

 

Have followed the TCP dumps and after analyzing the output we were clearly been able to see the connection request and the reset.

 

Well the strange thing was that the reset happens as the connection was send to wrong backend server.

 

And this was been happening due to SSL persistence enabled on the VS. Also as we are using irules for pool selection ,the SSL persistence record get it messed up.

 

We have the issues fixed by removing the SSL persistence from VS and applied it via irule.

 

Regards,
