I notice that you are talking about only one F5? How do you have your secondary F5 configured?? Perhaps the issue is in that?

Granted, I realize this doesn't contribute to the conversation, but it does raise a point.

Just saying...

Given, I run a smaller environment, but even on a several-years-old
v2.2.x install I regularly see several thousand requests per second --
not minute -- with tons of logging enabled -- handled while hardly
touching the CPU.  Are you sure you really need multiple machines?
