Hi, thanks for your quick reply. I tested again while checking the connection table: 'show sys connection cs-server-addr 192.168.8.200' And it shows connections only from the client as expected, so I cant see any reason for the persistence record to show source address to be the node address.

 

Also I tested the same rule using Source Address persistence instead of UIE and it shows the correct client address in the persistence records.

 

We need to continue use cookie persistence as the clients will soon be behind a secure gateway so their real source address will not be visible from the BigIP.
