Although all the IPs are pingable
argus shows that 4 of them are down. (see config below)

If i keep tweaking the config it shows other nodes are down.
can someone help me determine what is wrong with the foloowing config?

NOTE:
It shows: sw-amb1, sw-amb7, lib-vip-outside, sw-amb-10, sw-amb2,
sw-amb8, sw-amb9
are down, but they re pingable

NOTE:

When i check the error log there is not absolutely no error

Here is the config:
