Hmm... I think I might know the issue here, So far I have only noticed this happening on a Physical device connected to F5. And this physical server have 2 nic and they are both are teamed. So this is what I suspect happened when the server when down in F5 ARP table there was an entry for that server with a MAC access, how ever when the server came back up it got a different MAC access hence that didnt match the ARP table in F5. However we have rebooted VM many many times and I do have VIP for source to one destination and didnt see this happening. Can anyone confirm what I am thinking can happen?
