Thanks Dave,

 

I am sure there is no assym routing. The similar setup was working fine through ACE where we had set the idle timeout to indefinite for these sql ports.

 

But as soon as we diverted the traffic through F5, client started to see the error which I believe is because of F5. Even with all these settings where loose init is enable and rst on timeout disabled F5 not going to silently drop the traffic for any idle connection which stays longer than default of 5mins on F5 ?

 

So you are saying iRULE is not possible here, what do you think if I increase the TCP timeout on fastl4 profile from 300s to some high value, would that impact F5 performance ?
