Hi nacejj,
If you have your application behind the BIG-IP then why are you not using the Port Translation Feature that is enabled by Default.
If you configure the Virtual Server to listen on Port 80, and configure the Server in the pool to be 10.10.10.10:8895, then the BIG-IP will translate the communication from 80 to 8895 (less to worry about).
Depending on how your application is configured it might be trying to talk to itself (since you said that the Virtual Server owns the DNS Entry). You should try enabling SNAT Automap and see if your application begins to behave properly. If it does then you have several options.
1. Leave SNAT Automap Enabled.
2. Configure a SNAT iRule to compensate for your application functionality.
Hope this helps.
