I encountered this as well when I worked with the GSS. My solution was to make the health monitor on GSS TCP only and use an irule to check for active members in the pool, if none, discard requests from ONLY the GSS source IPs. This worked just fine in my environment.

BTW, for the GSS the discard is important, because ANY TCP response, even a RST, is considered "good".
I know this is kind of late, but do u have an example of this irule that I can reference?
