MVPThe servers could be members in another pool, there could a be health monitor on the nodes, they could be used in an iRule and so on?
How did you determine that you still see traffic to the servers?
Have you done show sys connection on the active F5 device for the VIP ip address that uses the pool with the removed members (don't do show sys connection without filters as it can cause issues)?

I think you maybe think it is the same traffic but it is not as this is really rare the F5 device to have a corupt config and to need mcpd reload to clear it, so for now check everything else. You could use the network map to see where the server ip address and port are still used (also enable the option the irules to be searched):
NimbostratusHello ,
Thank you for your answer. With show /sys connection i can see the traffic towards those 2 specific pool members. The VIP is configures without iRule or any persistance profile because that was my first thought also. The weird is that after the bouncing of the VIP the traffic is doing the same.
