BIG-IP and more Get /redirect.asp - 302 in IIS logs?

We introduced a F5 BIG-IP-1000 V4.5 on May 20 to do our load balancing. The BIG-IP is inside our firewall and

 

connected to two 5.0 IIS servers, NT-13 and NT-14.

 

 

When we were running some monthly reports in Webtrend using our IIS logs for May and June, we noticed that some of the numbers were much lower. In our research, we noticed that the numbers dropped-off on the day we introduced our load balancer, F5-BIGIP. In looking at the IIS logs we noticed that the files were larger and the extranet logs had many more lines containing:

 

 

GET /redirect.asp – 302 –

 

 

And our intranet logs had many more lines containing:

 

 

GET /detect.asp – 302 –

 

 

These lines were found in the log files on both NT-13 & NT-14.

 

 

On NT14 in the extranet log file, ex050519.log, we found the following lines:

 

 

 

2005-05-19 07:12:49 24.153.242.148 - 10.47.3.172 80 PROPFIND /MEDIA - 207 Microsoft-WebDAV-MiniRedir/5.1.2600

 

 

2005-05-19 07:13:24 24.153.242.148 - 10.47.3.172 80 PROPFIND /MEDIA - 207 Microsoft-WebDAV-MiniRedir/5.1.2600

 

 

2005-05-19 07:13:24 24.153.242.148 - 10.47.3.172 80 PROPFIND /media - 207 Microsoft-WebDAV-MiniRedir/5.1.2600

 

 

2005-05-19 07:13:24 24.153.242.148 - 10.47.3.172 80 PROPFIND /media - 207 Microsoft-WebDAV-MiniRedir/5.1.2600

 

 

2005-05-19 07:13:24 24.153.242.148 - 10.47.3.172 80 PROPFIND /media/Desktop.ini - 404 Microsoft-WebDAV-MiniRedir/5.1.2600

 

 

This was about the time the load balancer was introduced.

 

 

What do I need to do to get the visitor sessions and unique pages back up for Webtrend? IE... I need to get the same data in the IIS logfiles as before.
