ACE: HTTP followed by HTTPs/SSL termination, stickiness

Question

Dear Helpers,
I'm trying to figure out the best sticky/persistence method for the following for ACE,
Client X ----(HTTP)--------------------------------------------ACE LB ---to----Server 1
Client X -----(HTTPs)---ACE/SSL termination ------ACE LB ---to---- Server1
Both HTTP and HTTPs use the same VIP for HTTP and HTTPs)
The same client to stick/persist to the same server using both HTTP and HTTPs. HTTPs/SSL is terminated by ACE.
Could you point me to sample configurations for this requirement, please.
Thank you
SS

HI Gilles,
thanks for the response. Sorry had gotten distracted with a bunch of other things, didn't get a chance to get back to this. Anyway, so, I can generate the 302 response in my web-servers except I need to turn it around to a different domain name. Now assuming I use URL re-write when I see this coming back from the web-server, I can rewrite this to https and send to the client? A few questions about this and the links you sent above with using redirect service.
a) can I do a a redirect to an https address or does it only do http (considering I only saw examples configs only using www.domain.com/index.html type redirects without specifying the protocol to use)?
b) If not, then I use URL rewrite in conjunction with the 302 from the web-servers. But for my SSL off-load in a pair of CSS using VIP and Virtul Interface redundancy, do I buy 2xSSL Certs for the same domain-name or do I buy ONE (i.e. generate the key-pair/CSR in Master CSS) and import the same rsakey and SSL Cert recd. from CA into both CSSs?
c) Does the CSS handle a wildcard SSL Cert without problems?
Thanks again,
\R
