Hi Craig,
The persistence timeout is an idle timeout. It's updated each time you call persist or persist add. I'm not sure about persist lookup, but I'd guess that also resets the timer. You could test this using 'b persist uie show all' on the CLI to check the timer after calling only persist lookup from an iRule.
I think 'persist uie' dictates that a persistence record should be used and a record added once a load balancing decision has been made whereas 'persist add uie' will add the entry based on the current load balancing decision. That's my understanding anyhow.
