An existing TCP session will still work to same server, but a new TCP session will be load-balanced, which means you then have a 50/50 chance of hitting the same server. Also remember the 50mins means 50mins after the F5 last saw traffic from that source ip to that VIP. My recommendation would be don't use source IP - use an http and a oneconnect and a "cookie insert" profile.

If all you are after is balancing each TCP connection, then just don't configure source IP persistence on the application layer VIP. Each TCP connection will be individually load-balanced. If you want to individually load-balance HTTP requests, then enable the http and oneconnect profiles. I assume that the application VIP is stateless and so doesn't require persistence from the client to an application server?
