Thanks Deb for your quick response. This solution works until the node where the session is persistent fails. At that point we see an F5 Proxy error. Any suggestions to help with this?
Apart from this, it would be nice to add to a relative timer in the persist call. For instance, in the following persist call after 1800 seconds F5 will abruptly flush the jsessionid cookied from its cache.
persist add uie {[HTTP::cookie "JSessionID"] any virtual} 1800
Instead I would like to have a relative timer to simulate session cookie timer i.e the cookie expiration time should be current time + 1800.
