A node is a logical object on the BIG-IP system that identifies the IP address of a physical resource on the network. You can explicitly create a node, or you can instruct the BIG-IP system to automatically create one when you add a pool member to a load balancing pool.
The difference between a node and a pool member is that a node is designated by the device’s IP address only (10.10.10.10), while designation of a pool member includes an IP address and a service (such as 192.168.1.1:80).
A primary feature of nodes is their association with health monitors. Like pool members, nodes can be associated with health monitors as a way to determine server status. However, a health monitor for a pool member reports the status of a service running on the device, whereas a health monitor associated with a node reports status of the device itself.
Nodes are the basis for creating a load balancing pool. For any server that you want to be part of a load balancing pool, you must first create a node, that is, designate that server as a node. After designating the server as node, you can add the node to a pool as a pool member. You can also associate a health monitor with the node, to report the status of that server.

@CCNADailyTIPS would you be willing to give me a little guidance on setup/config? I can toss you a few bucks if you want. I have a pretty simple setup: 2 servers, two services on one of them and 1 service on the other.
