No, the LTM should send the 401 response back to the client provided the VIP is up. Do you have a monitor on the pool possibly marking the pool down because of the 401? Can you share your pcap?

    Hi Brad, Thanks for response. The VIP is up not sure why users are getting page not available. One thing I noticed that the application using auth header i.e. basic realm, OAuth etc. When they are directly hitting the pool member we are seeing OAuth as the URL of backend application to which pool member is pointing. But when going via VIP, in OAuth header we are seeing VIP URL. So is this something needed to be checked? Do OAuth needs to be same at pool member and backend. Please suggest. I will collect the wireshark and try to paste here. Thanks.
