I don't think this will work because the client has negotiated a secure session with the BIG-IP, not the server. Even if the server responds from the "same" IP via nPath and with the same certificate, the SSL session ID would be different and the client probably wouldn't know what to make of that.

 

 

I'm not sure what this would buy you anyway unless you are streaming large files over SSL back to the client.
