Load balancing loses authentication

My intranet ASP.NET web app is set up with Windows authentication and
IIS is set to disallow anonymous access.

The app is in a web farm configuration with two blade servers and
a BigIP F5 switch set with sticky sessions.

When I use the app and refresh the screen, the next thing I do in the
app causes a network login box to pop up. In the log, where I
typically
see my network id and ip address, I see just the ip address and a 401
error.

This only happens when I go through the switch, and only when I
refresh the screen. If I connect directly to either of the blade
servers directly there is no problem.

TIA,
Jim
