Eric, That definitely seems like the reason the redirect keeps looping. Every example I have seen has involved {SERVER_PORT} (is or isn't) 443 as a RewriteCond, but I haven't found a way to let apache know if the current session between the client and the load balancer is being encrypted or not.
Brian, I am using a Barracuda, which is far cheaper, and has far less features than some of the other vendors like Radware, F5 and Cisco LocalDirector. I will find out if it there is a way for the barracuda to let apache know its current offload status so it can differentiate between each request. Matt -----Original Message----- From: Brian A.
