Load Balancing with Oneconnect and clients coming from same IP

Joe, with oneconnect you configure a source mask for the BIG-IP to evaluate upon every request, see Managing connection reuse using OneConnect source mask. However, if the IP address the BIG-IP sees is the same IP address, then irrespective of the configured source mask it will mask an idle serverside connection. That way clients will be sent to the same backend pool member.

You may be better disabling oneconnect and using Cookie persistence / your chosen load balancing algorithm to better distribute connections.

Hope this helps,
