Symptoms,

 

- SP 2007 index server is crawling SP2003 Portal server

 

- I have checked using tcpdump and there was only one place where the redirect was done by F5 using iRule. All the 401 Unauthorized messages are returned by IIS server. All these messages start only when you apply the iRule

 

- If you remove the iRules and crawl it works fine.

 

- As per the app team, they start seeing access denied messages frequently and the crawl fails
