Once that is done, creating the virtual servers is logical step. We would create one HUB-VIP server that uses protocol TCP and port 25, and second HUB-VIP-Return-HTTP with protocol HTTP and port 80. lastly, we would create HUP-VIP-Return with protocol SSL and port 443. Since the last server using SSL, we would need to do SSL offloading. This will require to use the certificate that was imported. We have used one certificate for all ports, so we will use the same certificate used in previous blog entry.
