Ooh, tricky one! I'd go with option D. The request might not be reaching the pool member for some reason. Maybe there's a network issue or a firewall blocking the request. Worth double-checking the network config.

Haha, classic LTM troubleshooting. I bet the monitor is looking for the wrong thing. Could be that the pool member is responding with a compressed response, and the monitor is not handling that properly.

I think the issue could be that the pool member is responding without HTTP headers.

But if the application is up and functioning correctly, maybe the request is not being received by the pool member.

I'm not sure about this one. If the application is working fine in the browser, it seems unlikely that the issue is with the HTTP headers or a 404 response. Maybe the request is not being received by the pool member?

I disagree, I believe the pool member is responding with a 404.

The issue is probably that the pool member is responding without HTTP headers. The monitor is expecting a '200 OK' response, but if the headers are missing, it might not be detected correctly.
