what happens if LB_FAILED is not handled
I've got a VIP which doesn't have an iRule to handle LB_FAILED, while the other one has. They have similar pool settings so that it is the same web application sitting behind the two VIP. Thus makes them comparable.
The one with LB_FAILED handler reports FB_FAILED every minutes, suggesting something wrong when trying to do tcp connection to the backend web servers. The one without handler doesn't seem to have any onging issues. That makes me wonder that if there is no iRule to deal with LB_FAILED event, how does F5 deal with the situation?
Thanks,
