Hi Jose,
Your behaviour is normal, you have to set your node to disable an not force offline if you want to diferency this 2 status.
You can have 4 differents status:
- up
- down
- session_enabled
- session_disabled
If your node is down or you force it to "forced offline" it will mark down too.
If your node is disable it will mark "session_disabled".

Check this article it will helpfull for you:

set maintenance_mode [LB::status node 192.168.250.1 session_disabled]

HTTP::redirect "http://alternate.site.com/maintenance.html"
}

Let me now if it's clear for you.
