What the heck hoolio, why didn't I know about the listener trick? Great tip, thanks for that. Anyway tcpdump says it is getting processed by the vs_0_0_0_0_any virtual server, which seems right based on what is happening. So I guess the question is why isn't the connection processed by the vs_0_0_0_0_ssh instead, since that seems like it is more specific than any:any. SOL8009 says the value of db TM.ContinueMatching can have an effect (my value is set to true), but only when the VS is down or disabled which is not the case here. SOL6459 says *: takes priority over *:*, so I must be missing something.
