NimbostratusThanks Ryan.
Although my primary responsiblity isn't networking and all the layer 3 stuff, I was lucky to have access to the LTM during the troubleshooting process. Although I haven't tried it yet, I think the only possible downside is that the "alternate access mappings" that were handled by SharePoint are now being handled by the LTM. I would assume you'd need to have all of the possible FQDNs accounted for in the stream iRule. Other application admins/engineer's may not have access to the LTM and they will need to engage thier network engineering team for any new web applications they deploy on thier SharePoint farm.
Also, we were very specific in the stream iRule. We have many virtual servers on the LTM not all of which need the outbound rewrite to https. So we spelled out the entire FQDN to avoid causing issues outside of the SharePoint configuration.
