We currently share the same ip. We have a virtual server on port 80 that has an iRule to redirect to https and another virtual server on port 443 that the iRule redirects to.

 

I just thought there may be a way to do the redirection without having to create the http virtual server?

 

We do want SSL to offload.

Excuse my curiosity, but why use an iRule to redirect? If is it only to control the redirects, I would make a VIP on port 443 with SSL offload (to analyze data if necessary) and another VIP on port 80 with SSL on the server side to deliver the traffic on a same pool that will listen https on 443. But in some iApp templates I've seen redirects from http to https.
