Nicolas,
I finally noticed the behavior of this application. I now have three backend servers in the pool. I have three rules in the policy, one for each backend server. Here is what happens:
Open web browser, enter the url with one of the server names, let's say 008. the F5 appears to round robin this and lands on any of the three backend servers. However, if I keep the browser open and enter the url of any of the three backend servers it will then go to the correct one from that point on.
So basically this:
Open browser - select mysite.com/008 - F5 LTM load balances to any of three in pool
With browser still open enter mysite.com/009 - click Refresh, correct backend server loads
Enter mysite.com/012 - refresh - correct backend server
and so forth
So, after initial landing which is round robining from pool, it then works if one does NOT close the browser and enters one of the three urls.
Also, after initial check for credentials, it doesn't ask again after first landing on round robined backend server, so jumping to the different servers is quick.

Hi !
Nice to see you going forward !
Even if it looks like some stuff may still need to be fix.
However when you says that the first time you go to mysite.com/008 you do not land on the correct node but you do after refreshing the page make me thinking that maybe when you think you get round -robined to a wrong node it is indeed your browser using previous data from it's local cache.
