Using VDM Security server with an appliance supporting SSL offload.

We would like to offload the SSL handling to our firewall appliance and therfore only require communications with the VDM Security Server on port 80.

The VDM2 Load Balancing Guide seems to suggest that disabling SSL on the VDM Security Server is possible (the table at the top of page 3). However I can find no way of disabling the SSL requirement on the VDM Security Server. Does anyone know how to do this and if it is even possible?

We are using 2.1 across the board and I do not have 'User connection requires SSL' selected on the paired VDM Connection Server. I can connect to this server using only HTTP.

I have not gone this far with my testing but would like the option to be able to use an existing appliance that supports SSL\HTTPS Reverse Proxy to terminate the SSL session and forward the traffic on to the server to speed things up.
