Hi Jason. Great stuff here. My students are always asking about this type of thing so thanks for posting this. However, am I misunderstanding something here in the diagrams? In my experiments with a vip, which has an APM access policy and ASM security policy, the access policy sees the request before the security policy. For example I have a L7 acl in the access policy to deny the uri path /stopme/*. When I request that uri the APM acl blocks me and the request never appears in the ASM request log.
