What I have discovered using tcpdump is that the virtual server is never actually talking to the servers in the pool.does the virtual server use http profile? if yes, bigip has to receive HTTP request ,e.g. GET, before sending SYN packet to pool member. if not, after finishing 3 way handshake, bigip should send SYN packet.
