    It looks like there are two things you need to modify here in your config:

    1. setting the service types to HTTP from TCP on all VIPs/VSs/RSs
    2. configure the virtual server VIPs to be defaults

    Here is a summary of what you will need to update in the configuration. Keep in mind, you will need to admin-offline these items before being able to change service type.

    virtual-server vsSecondary
attach virtual-ip vipSecondary default

virtual-server vsSecondary1 
service http
attach virtual-ip vipsecondary1 default

real-server rss-rep1 
service http

virtual-ip vipsecondary1
service http

virtual-server Webssilo1 
attach virtual-ip vipsweb1 default

    Doing this, I was able to replicate your configuration and successfully pass traffic to the original servers and replication servers for both HTTP and HTTPS. This should get you up and running, too.

You may want to see if you can get the HTTP service type working for your setup. TCP will work for system-based load balancing, but right now only HTTP traffic can be modified with nodeJS scripts.

 

Once you get a HTTP-based setup working, as it looks like you noticed, the HTTPS module in node would need to be used instead of HTTP to replicate requests. More info can be found here including an example of how to do https.request().

 

Let me know if this works for you.
