NimbostratusLTM - Load Balancing iRule
The intermittent issue is that sometimes the two connections get load balanced to one member and sometimes each member receives one connection. Is there an iRule I can put in place to ensure one connection goes to each member every time?
what you are seeing is due to how cmp works. i think disabling cmp should work.

http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/14000/300/sol14358.htmlif you do not want to disable cmp, irule similar to Matt's suggestion is needed (global variable will demote cmp, so you have to store global_myvsconncnt in session table instead).

NimbostratusMatt, Thanks for the suggested iRule. The developers want me to attempt an iRule and I'm willing to try the one you provided. I will mark the answer as correct if it works for us. Also Patrick, I will try your suggestion as well if Matt's doesn't work. At this point, I'm not too concerned if a solution disables CMP as this VIP only takes 4 connection request per day at the most.
