Forwarding traffic to external website

I’m having problem with the following scenario-

 

  1. F5 is set in one arm mode- clients and servers are external.

  2. Clients connect to VIP on url tcp:80; Server side is configured for https. External Client > VIP:80 > External Server:443

     

  3. Server profile is set to ignore certificates.

     

  4. The server pool is populated with FQDN

Client browser gets error “ Bad Reequest; Your browser sent a request that server could not understand”.

 

I did some troubleshooting-

 

curl https://www.jstor.org –vk ( f5 can connect to outside server without problem).

 

I tried setting my https server as a member of the pool. The client get connected to the server correctly.

 

Please help.

    Okay, so a few questions.

     

    • You say, "The server pool is populated with FQDN ;, and then "I tried setting my https server as a member of the pool". Is the resolved IP for the same as "my https server"? Otherwise what's the difference?

       

    • Do you have SNAT enabled on the VIP? And when you have it configured to go to , do you see any traffic trying to go the correct IP?
