The term "redirect" gets misused a lot, so I'm going to assume that you mean "proxied", as in you want external HTTPS traffic to pass through the F5 as HTTP (port 80) to the backend server, as opposed to actually redirecting the client to a completely separate external port 80 VIP.

 

If my assumption is correct, then this is an easy one. Apply a client SSL profile to the VIP to terminate client side SSL, and direct the traffic to a pool of port 80 servers. Make sure Port Translation is enabled in the VIP and the rest is automatic.
