Not sure about that, could be something else causing the issue.

I think it's the application servers redirecting to HTTPS.

Wait, are the pool members set to the right ports?

The LTM device needs a serverssl profile to handle HTTPS.

I vaguely remember something about chunking responses causing issues, but I don't think that's relevant here since users can connect directly to the app servers.

I think the application servers might be redirecting users to HTTPS, but I can't recall if that would affect the virtual server's ability to connect.

This seems similar to a practice question where the ports were misconfigured. I wonder if that's what's happening with the pool members.

I remember we discussed how SSL profiles work, but I'm not sure if the lack of a serverssl profile is the main issue here.

This sounds like a question about integration testing. I'll need to think through the different types of testing and how they apply to the scenario.

I think National Paper Products might be tricky since it's a subsidiary. Does that exclude it from being an exempt person?

Wait, this looks tricky. Which one doesn't sound like a legitimate follow-up purpose? Option B about statistics seems a bit odd compared to the others.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think the issue might be related to the next-hop-self command not being implemented. That seems like a common requirement in E-BGP setups.
