Sporadic 404 errors - where is this coming from?
We are getting sporadic 404 errors that show "Powered by Jetty" on a basic 404 page. We have a pool of servers using a VIP hosting a file, but random requests return this 404 page (maybe about 25%). It does not seem to be browser specific as it has happened on FF, Safari, IE and Chrome, across Windows and Mac platforms. We suspect the 404s are coming from the servers, but the dev testers claim there are none in the server logs, and when they test directly to the hosts, it works each time. We've set up tcpdumps on the F5 but the captures are somewhat difficult to read and sometimes the 404, even though the file downloads failed, does not show up in the capture (opened Wireshark). Stats show the loads are not overbearing for the pool members. We're running LTM 12.1.1. Has anyone experienced this? Is there a way to determine for sure something is up between the F5 and the servers? Is it possible the request URI gets malformed somehow when forwarded to the pool members?
