Virtual Server 443 for pool members running 443 & ssl certificate
Load balancing to SSL servers without SSL offload basically requires a basic layer 4 VIP, no client or server SSL profiles, no layer 7 (ie. http, ftp, etc.) profiles, and a pool that sends traffic to the nodes listening on 443. This is pure layer 4 (TCP) "tunneling" of SSL and above data. I would add too that this sort of configuration severely diminishes the F5's capabilities. Without access to the upper layer protocol data, you've basically turned it into a simple IP-based load balancer with minimal functionality. Even persistence is limited to source address.
