I investigated the renegotiation issue further. I'm sorry to say that SSL persistence will not track renegotiations (or re-handshakes) even if SSL is terminated on the BIG-IP. I have filed a bug report on this problem. I was hoping to provide you with an iRule work-around using the CLIENTSSL_HANDSHAKE rule event. Unfortunately, this event is only raised for the initial handshake. I have filed an enhancement request to raise it on all handshakes. Thank you for briging this to our attention. We will take steps to correct it in a future release.
