Seems to be a bit of confusion in here. There shouldn't be any redirection.

 

 

The BigIP acts as a proxy. You connect to https://vipaddr/ and it goes & gets the content from the backend server on whatever ip & port it's working on, then sends the results to the client. No redirects necessary, unless the SERVER redirects to itself (e.g. redirects / to /index.html) in which case the redirect often needs re-writing to use the client facing URL instead of the URL directly addressing the server.
