Outbound SSL question

So just to clarify, you have a server that is trying to talk SSL to a remote web server through your local F5, correct? And if yes, can I also assume that routing is not an issue because the two parties are at least talking at layer 4 before the SSL handshake? Are you doing any sort of SSL manipulation/offload on the F5 for this traffic? The firewall is presumably in front of your F5, so if the remote site says it's being sent, but your firewall isn't seeing it, then I'd imagine something else is wrong in between these two entities.
