CirrostratusOK, so...
1) The RST is sent from the F5 to the real server, not to the client right?
2)Is SNAT involved in any way?
3) What's the highest Idle Time you've tried?
4) How long will a connection stay up for?
5) Are monitors failing at all?
6) Doesn't the client use a keepalive?
7) Have you used the same profile settings client and server-side?
8) Are there any firewalls in path?
That article doesn't actually list all the possible reasons for a RST, there are others (such as unmirrored connections during a failover) but I'm still working on a complete list.
I've had applications using long lived connections without any issues but I'm pretty sure most of them had at least an hourly keepalive of one kind or another.
