Thanks for your reply. If we create a VIP which listens on port 443 and the pool members listens on port 443 without SSL offloading on LB, how does LB decrypt and re-encrypt the packet to backend servers as SSL offloading not on LB?

 

since the packet from the client is encrypted and I'm wondering what would be possible steps on LB to pass-through the encrypted traffic from client directly to the webserver where SSL certificate is offloaded.

 

Any help on this request is appreciable.
