pool members can't connect to their own Virtual Server

I have a load balanced pool of web servers that are part of a VIP on the f5, and there is an application on the web servers that tries to connect to the VIP that they are a member of.

 

 

I can ping the VIP but anytime i try to access the acutal website using the VIP it times out as if i am loosing traffic. going through localhost on each web server is just fine so i know the website is working.

 

 

 

Plus this is in production so i am kinda limited in what troubleshooting steps i can take.

 

 

 

any help is appreciated.
