    Providing you have an HTTP profile and a client-ssl profile it will work as F5 is a full TCP proxy. Having both the virtual server and pool members on the same port will not affect the connectivity and the ability off load SSL.

    Hi,

     

    Your server backend listen in https too?

     

    in this case it's not ssl ofload but interception and you need ssl client and ssl server profile.

     

    regards
