Can bigip LTM do Straight TCP SSL (not HTTPS) load balancing

Instead of HTTPS, I want to do the TCP SSL load balancing on LTM? Can I do it and how to configure it? If yes, can I also do the SSL client Authentication on the TCP SSL?

To add my 2 cents on the first part of the question, yes you can and I am currently doing it. Just a TCP profile with no HTTP profile. I'm doing back to back SSL, so I have a server and client SSL profiles. The app requires no persistence between TCP sessions so I don't have to worry about that.
