Healthchecks doen by LB's are usually done from their own IP-address
while production traffic is either from the client-ip or the NATted
address, which is usually different from the address that the health
checks are sent from. But... this varies per LB-brand. If they
are different, you can filter on the ip-addresses. Please note
that you can use a filter like "!ip.addr==<ip-healtchchecks>"

Exactly, editcap just takes frame-numbers or times as filters. But you
can use tshark for your purpose like this:
tshark -r <in-file> -w <out-file> -R "<display-filter of frames you want to keep>"
If you have a complex filter and you are using tshark from unix (or cygwin),
you could have the filter in a file and do:
tshark -r <in-file> -w <out-file> -R "`cat <filter-file>`"
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
