Hi Aaron,

 

Thanks a lot for your response. I almost anticipated response from you.

 

 

You are right that LTM sends TCP reset to apache when apache tries to send 302 (big url). I added irule to print any 302 that LTM receives, and LTM does not print this 302, while I could see other 302s printed. That kind of made us believe that LTM is imposing limit, and hence breaking the connection.

 

 

I dont have access to /var/log/tm. I could only access UI of the load balancer, so is there way to get nay information from UI?
