Like Cspillane mentioned above, the most common setup I have used in this type of situation is:

 

Server: 10.1.201.102

 

Service Port: 443

 

Protocol: TCP

 

Protocol Profile Client: tcp

 

HTTP Profile: http

 

SSL Profile (Client): Here is where I would use the SSL Certficate made for the website/URL

 

SSL Profile (Server): serverssl

 

SNAT Pool: Auto Map

 

 

If you are using an IIS server in this type of setup, you would also need to export the SSL Cert and key off of the F5 BIG-IP, convert it to .pfx format using "OpenSSL" or something similar. Then import that into your IIS website under the Directory Security tab, Secure Communications Section. Just click on the "Server Certificate..." button and import the .pfx formatted certificate. If you have any issues with formatting to .pfx let me know and I can provide more instructions.

 

 

What kind of web server are you running and are you running multiple sites off of it?

 

 

Also, for future reference, this question might be better suited for the advanced desing and configuration forum since you are not having issues with an iRule really.
