Actually, in this scenario you will want to let the BigIP do SSL offloading. The virtual server will listen on 443, client connects, we then make a load balancing decision after the handshake. From there we will then start a new SSL connection to the selected back end pool member on 8443. Two completely separate TCP conversations but it will be the most effective and straight forward.
