Load Balance API Calls

I'm having trouble with using an F5 LTM to load balance API calls. It's a pretty simple setup, 2 nodes in a pool, virtual server with service port as 443, client and server ssl profiles created, yet ...

I was told they were HTTPS but they should just be regular 443 communications as far as I'm aware.

It's definitely not a network issue, the user who is making the API calls to the VIP is able to reach other VIP's in that same network range. They are definitely using the VIP and not the individual server.

ok, yet you say: "I don't even see traffic on a tcpdump when filtering by the VIP address."

 

so why doesn't it reach the VIP, or does it?
