I am a bit confused by the evidence you are providing. One one hand, you claim you are using curl to connect to an HTTPS VIP. On the other hand, the trace you provided shows a connection to port 80 - not port 443. That's why hoolio asked which side of the ltm was the trace you provided taken on - the external (i.e. client) side, or the internal (i.e. server) side? If the trace was taken on the client side, then of course the LTM sent a RST because the connection from the client was HTTP (port 80), not HTTPS (port 443), and you probably don't have an HTTP (port 80) VIP. But if the trace was taken on the server side, then it was the Pool Member who is sending a TCP RST - not the LTM. That was why I advised you to attempt to telnet to the pool member on port 80 from the LTM - it will validate whether or not a TCP connection with the Pool Member is being acknowledged.
So something isn't adding up. Which side of the LTM was the trace taken on - the client side or the pool member side?
