iRule Pool Selection and SSL Server-side Profile

For informative purposes, I was wondering how this interaction works. If I have a VS accepting traffic but use an iRule to direct that traffic to pools based on a URI or Hostname, will it still honor the server-side SSL profile you have in place? As I understand it, an iRule gets compiled and executed once the client makes a connection to the VS. If the iRule is then executed and sending the client back to the appropriate pool, does it then look at the SSL server-side profile to start that handshake using all parameters set in the profile?

    Above is the sequence. Yes, it will follow the parameters laid down by ServerSSL profile, if you are using it in the VS. If you have a specific case/concern, it will help if you can provide some explanation around it.
