HTTP & SSL Stickiness

Question

The website we're load-balancing with our CSS 11150 is an e-commerce site that will redirect the user to a SSL page which resides on the same server upon checkout. I was attempting to follow the tutorial given by this link (http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/117/converting_ssl_http.html ), but didn't quite understand the example given. More specifically, the page says:
"During the client's session, the transition is made to SSL port 443. This causes a new content rule to be hit and the client is load-balanced to another server. To prevent this from occurring, configure an HREF pointing the server back to itself:"
"<A HREF=https://ip_address/path> secure site </A>"
The PDF version of the document uses this URL:
"http://kbase.cisco.com/paws_data/16202/<A HREF="javascript:newWin('https://ip_address/path')>secure site</A>"
Besides the confusion that these conflicting results produce, I'm still not sure exactly what the URL is referencing.
An example of our setup is as follows:
(Public)
Arrowpoint IP: 123.123.123.215
Arrowpoint VIP: 123.123.123.220
(Private)
Arrowpoint IP: 10.0.0.1
WS-1: 10.0.0.2
WS-2: 10.0.0.3
Domain Name: http://www.our-domain.com
Based on this information, how would I construct the URL I would need to embed within our webpage in order to convert a HTTP session to SSL and stay stuck?
Thanks,
Andy
