That is my understanding as well. I'm wondering if there is any thing we may need to consider regarding that then passing to Microsoft's UAG since the F5 is unencrypting and re-encrytping the packet. I'm investigating doing a SSL re-encryption, which is contrary to the design that is currently being looked at. Right now, the design consideration is to do SSL passthrough all the way to UAG, and that would limit our ability to inspect and know what is going on from a security packet inspection
