Explanation

Even though all pool members are disabled, users may still be able to reach them if a persistence profile is applied to the Virtual Server.

Here’s why:

Persistence (such as cookie or source address persistence) allows existing client sessions to continue being sent to the same pool member.

Disabling pool members prevents new connections, but existing persistent connections can still be honored.

As a result, users with an active persistence record can continue to reach the pool members.
