Load Balance API Calls

I'm having trouble with using an F5 LTM to load balance API calls. It's a pretty simple setup, 2 nodes in a pool, virtual server with service port as 443, client and server ssl profiles created, yet ...

I was told they were HTTPS but they should just be regular 443 communications as far as I'm aware.

It's definitely not a network issue, the user who is making the API calls to the VIP is able to reach other VIP's in that same network range. They are definitely using the VIP and not the individual server.

So far we haven't been able to figure it out. We had an F5 support resource take a look at the configuration of the virtual server. He suggested a few minor changes but saw no issues with the configuration. He also said that the local traffic statistics page indicates that traffic is coming and being passed through correctly.

At this time we're wondering if it may be a certificate issue, so we're waiting for a new cert from the server team. I'll try to post an update if we find anything else.
