heh, what do you know... searched and searched and found nothing, then this is already on the front page... http://devcentral.f5.com/Default.aspx?tabid=53&forumid=5&postid=15367&view=topic

 

as you were... nothing to see here (unless you think otherwise...)

 

 

my own answer seems to be that you should use a fastL4 profile instead of a standard one, and that at least silently drops the packets without completing the handshake.
