Very Slow Application performance behind F5

We have one application that performs very poorly behind F5. There is a 9 second delay on the initial GET request going through the VIP. If we bypass the F5 to the servers directly there is no delay...

The only things that pop in my mind are to try turning on source based persistence and and turning off Netbios over DNS on those servers NIC's like what hoolio mentioned. I did that on some Citrix boxes recently and it made a big difference.

 

 

I am running an F5 unit in the same kind of network set up you have and haven't had any issues with over 400 VS's.....

 

 

 

Edit:

 

What kind of SSL certificates are you using on the F5 VS's? Are they self signed?
