Disabled VS Still Intercepting Traffic

I have an F5 LTM configured with a VS to catch HTTP traffic and send it via a cluster of proxies.

 

The F5 also has a forwarding VS that directs all other traffic (* protocol & * ports) direct to the upstream firewall and thus not going through the cluster of proxies.

 

When I disable the HTTP VS I expected HTTP traffic to then be matched against the forwarding VS and get sent direct to the firewalls as well, however it does not, it seems the HTTP VS even its disabled state still intercepts the traffic and just drops it.

 

Does anyone know why the F5 behaves in this way and how I can get the HTTP VS to only intercept HTTP when the VS is active? Would be a pain if I had to delete and then re-create the HTTP VS every time I needed to bypass the proxies for some reason.
