Two virtual servers, same destination nodes, different routes

Thx. The next hop is configured to only communicate with the destination nodes via ipsec. When ipsec is disabled , the next hop and the pool member/nodes can't communicate at all (ping, http, etc). I expected when ipsec was disabled, since they could not communicate , a failure would happen for the ICMP health monitor. I can't really supply the iRule. It controls the route to pool members and nodes via a nexthop command. the http monitor is a basic monitor ltm monitor http /mypartition/MY_HTTP_MONITOR { defaults-from /Common/http destination *:* interval 5 ip-dscp 0 recv "200 OK" send "GET / HTTP/1.0\\r\\n\\r\\n" time-until-up 0 timeout 16 } the ICMP was a basic monitor applied to the pool member nodes ltm monitor gateway-icmp /mypartition/MY_ICMP_MONITOR { defaults-from /Common/gateway_icmp destination 10.100.53.150:* THIS WAS THE NEXT HOP interval 5 time-until-up 0 timeout 16 }
