I realize this article is a few years old, but I have a question that appears related. I'm a SharePoint Admin testing out SSL offloading with the F5. The load balancing appears to be working as expected. However, for testing/troubleshooting purposes, I set the host file on each server to the IP of the server. Also, I want to be able to set my host file to the IP of the server so I can connect directly to the server. In doing so, both client and server side, I am seeing mixed results when connecting via http (I don't want to manage the certificates on each server). On 1 server, the start.aspx page loads while I get "SCRIPT7002: XMLHttpRequest: Network Error 0x2efd, Could not complete the operation due to error 00002efd" when hitting /_layouts/15/viewlsts.aspx or /_layouts/15/settings.aspx. On server 2, /_layouts/15/settings.aspx loads fine, but I get the same SCRIPT7002 error when trying to access start.aspx or /_layouts/15/viewlsts.aspx. When I add the SSL binding in to each server and access each server directly, I don't experience any issues. My AAM's are setup as F5 recommends....Internal http/Public https and Internal http/Public https. Is this expected behavior when accessing http or should I have the same experience as I would through SSL?
