I have a pair of physical F5's sitting in front of an IIS farm. My understanding is it's better/easier to use iRules instead of IIS Re-write rules for what I'm trying to do.

NimbostratusYou can use iApps for creating & maintaining the port 443 IIS virtual server and redirection from port 80.
Use the f5.microsoft_iis iApp template. It automatically creates the port 80 redirect VS with proper redirect iRule. Then allow updates and you can add Michael's iRule to the 443 VS.
Additionally you will get proper health checks and profiles etc. It is much, much faster and probably much less error prone than doing manually..and also tested and supported by F5. Pretty safe, I use iApps when possible. Sure they create more objects, but they are kept in app specific container (folder).
