I've got an interesting issue here with an ACE pair. I've set a pretty basic insert-cookie based configuration. However, persistence wasn't working. I fired up HTTP-fox and found that the ACE was setting the cookie to expire in 1970.
Here's the relevant configuration of the http-cookie:
sticky http-cookie ACEID websticky
cookie insert
serverfarm serverfarm-1
Setting a different timeout doesn't affect anything, other than the day or month. It's still always 1970. As a result, my browser doesn't send the cookie with the next request, so persistence doesn't work.
I thought perhaps it was the clock, an issue I've seen on other platforms. But the clock is correct on the ACE.

Here's the software version:
Software

system: Version A5(1.2) [build 3.0(0)A5(1.2) adbuild_19:38:58-2012/01/17_/a

Device Manager version 5.1 (0) 20111215:1009
I've found a work-around by setting the cookie to browser-expire. But wondering if anyone has seen a similar issue.
