Hmm, I'd say B is the way to go. Unless you want your users to feel like they're trapped in a virtual server limbo, you don't want to use Drop or Stateless.

Actually, setting the virtual server Type to Internal may also cause users to receive TCP RST packets.

Definitely B. I've seen this issue before, and the docs clearly state that Reject mode sends a TCP RST. Gotta love those helpful error messages.

Yes, Reject mode is likely causing the users to receive the TCP RST packet.

It's important to check the configuration to make sure it's not set to Reject.

I thought it was supposed to be a BIG-IP, not a BIG-REJECT! This virtual server is more like a BIG-OOPS if it's sending RST packets.

I agree with Rima, setting the virtual server Type to Reject would explain why users are receiving TCP RST packets.

Option B is the correct answer. A TCP RST packet is sent when the virtual server is set to Reject, indicating that the connection is being actively rejected.
