Select a pool member based on URI and remove the URI info

Well, as far as I understand now you have set the default pool you can somehow reach the application. However you still have issues with persistence as in the same session you move from node 008 and 009.

Next test : (make sure your persist profile "default cookie" is still set to this virtual server just in case)

Fully close your browser => Open web browser => switch to private mode => enable developers tools and start recording "network" => go to your splunk.local/server1

Now inspect your persist cookie for each request :

• First request to application.lan/server :
  • request should not contain the cooki
  • response must set the persit cooki
  • 
• Folloing request must insert the persist cooki :
  • 

Make sure the cookie value correspond to your node_ip:port using https://www.nooby.fr/pages/f5-cookie-encode-decode.php
