http - https redirect but terminate ssl on node instead of f5

I have a requirement to load balance several sites and redirect from http to https. Only catch is, I need to have the ssl terminate on the web server node, not on the f5.

 

 

I assume this can be done with an irule but I am a newb to irules so I'm looking for little help.

 

 

setup:

 

 

www.website.com --> F5 --> pool ( node1, node2, node3 - each has a wildcard ssl cert installed for website.com)

 

 

When clients hit http://www.website.com, I need the f5 to redirect (or rewrite?) to https://www.website.com and pass along to one of the nodes which will then do the ssl handshake.

 

 

Is this possible?

 

 

Thanks in advance.
