error fixed, thank you.
answers, in order of your questions (I think):
- tcp idle timeout: yes, that sounds about right
- max age: putting onus on server give BIG-IP less to do on something inconsequential (my guess, no insight from the developer)
- marked ineligible: ineligible status is linked to attaching client connections to server connections, not servers using active connections
- max reuse is using counters, not timers, so I'm not sure how server could be expected to participate
- idle-timeout override is to give control to oneconnect over other protocol timers, so if server keepalive timeout is 60 seconds and default tcp profile timeout is 5 minutes, and you set oneconnect idle-timeout override to 30 seconds, the connect will be reset by BIG-IP after 30 idle seconds
- Max age timer is how long it's allowed to sit in the re-use queue, not exactly the idle-time of the connection itself, it's a different timer.
- All the timers are independent such that they will act on the information they have when thresholds are crossed, so if max age is violated, it acts regardless of max reuse status (and vice versa)
