But the f5 does not see it.   Anyone have an example of how  scenario like this would work?   Do I need to modify haproxy or is this an f5 issue?   Thank you again  in advance..   Alex DeMarco Manager of Technical Services The State University of New York State University Plaza - Albany, New York 12246 Tel: 518.320.1398    Fax: 518.320.1550 Be a part of Generation SUNY: Facebook - Twitter - YouTube     This will most likely be an issue with the F5 being configured for source persistence - it won't inspect headers looking for the IP.  You should simply be able to use session based persistence through the F5 as long as you don't strip out any cookies being returned from it.
