Re: [load balancing] F5 3400 with 9.0.4, compression issues

Do you realize you just disabled compression?

Brian, is the compression in F5 even half baked? Last time I looked at F5
website and scrolled to "Mgt Team" with firefox the page didn't render.

As a troubleshoot step, I would look to narrow it down to a specific browser
version and SP and then start by disabled the Java Script URL associated
with the page.

Good Luck.
