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

You can configure one HTTP virtual server (VS) and one HTTPS VS. On the HTTP VS, add an iRule which redirects to HTTPS (Click here). On the HTTPS VS, don't a client SSL profile and set it to use a pool of the web servers configured on port 443. You can use a FastL4 profile on the HTTPS VS (type: Performance (L4) - Click here) as you aren't doing any SSL decryption or parsing/modifying of the HTTP on this VS.
