Reviewed above post but no where seen curl output. I believe back-end server is up & port is not learning with HTTP service.

Check below thing to troubleshoot further. 1) Directly hit to back end server through browser and check you are getting page

 http://x.x.x.x:80     --> Here x.x.x.x will be back end server IP with 80 port



2) Attach curl & telnet output to check further

   curl -gv http://x.x.x.x:80 
   telnet x.x.x.x:80

Does it makes sense?

I had a similar issue, when using the 90 day trial for the CBT Nuggets lab, the Pool would show down. What my issue was the default HTTP monitor being used.

 

I created a new monitor under Local Traffic -> Monitors

 

Name http_11.3

 

Parent Monitor - http

 

Send String: GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n

 

Leave other options as the defaults.

 

Then under Local Traffic -> Pool choose the OUR-WEB-SERVER pool. In the Health Monitors section add the http_11.3 monitor and remove the http monitor, and make sure to update the configuration.

 

See if that works.
