Cookie stickiness

I use an iRule where based on URI the traffic is redirected to two different pools (one serving static and the other dynamic content). I applied cookie stickiness and oneconnect profile (/32 mask) to both 80 and 443 VS instances. SSL is offloaded on the LTM. My question is will cookies be generated for both pools? I only see one cookie value from the LTM on the packet capture even though we keep sending traffic between the two pools.

    Hmm. Where is the cookie coming from, the real servers or are you inserting on the F5?

    I created a custom cookie insert(expires in an hour) and as suggested in Deb's article, I am using it for both http and https VS. Should I be using a regular cookie insert so that it has a unique name for the both static and dynamic pools?
