I see application data being exchanged in your capture between BIG-IP and Apache, do you see any HTTP requests/responses logged in your access.log on the server ? Can you try from BIG-IP ? curl -k -H "Host: mesh.pens.com" https://192.168.220.214/ If it doesn't work, try the ssl logs on your server maybe ?
