We never were able to reach the outside networks had to go back to the 9.3.1 unit.

 

The self ip i connected to was not the floating ip. Heres the jist of what happened with my standby test. I could ping the gateway address or the self ip. tcpdumps revealed that the ssh session i used was actually redirected to the standby f5 so it went nowhere. I also tried an ssh session to the outside addresss from the standby unit and it went right though. Another thing i tried from the internal server was ssh to other internal servers and connections where taking 2min or more.
