I'm not clear what the situation here is, but I assume that you're referring to SSL enabled web servers behind the BigIP and you're not offloading - instead, you're passing through to the back end.
If this is the case, your issue is because the HTTP profile expects to be able to see the layer 7 protocol information (i.e. HTTP). If you're not terminating SSL the system can't see this traffic because it's encrypted.

ok.,
is there any way to apply an irule on a VIP were no SSL offloading is configured. I jsut want to apply a Irule like
this
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { (not ([matchclass [IP::client_addr] equals [$::internal-ips]]) } {
discard
}
}
just lock down based on IP - L4L7_53191

Yep, for Layer 4 stuff you'll be fine. Have a look at this:
http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/default.aspx/iRules/AccessControlBasedOnIP.html for a basic example
or this:
