Hi,

 

 

The only thing I can think of with this is that there is a bad ARP entry or something that would prevent the TCP connection attempts from reaching LTM. If you run a tcpdump while the failure occurs, do you see any packets reaching LTM for the VS address?

 

 

Regardless, I think you'll need to open a case with F5 Support on this to get help diagnosing the issue. They'll want to see a tech.out from the unit and tcpdump traces captured at the time of a failure.
