Sorry to revive an old thread but i am currently trying to load balance two 
puppet masters behind an F5 and am running into issues. Can you share your 
configuration? I have a CA/Foreman server outside of the F5 and 2 
Puppetmasters behind the F5. The VIP on the F5 has a generic DNS name with 
the certificate generated from the CA. The certificate, private key and CA 
certificate are all loaded to the F5 and configured in a client ssl profile 
which is applied to the VIP. Am I missing anything on the F5 configuration 
side? Do I need to dig into the Apache config on the Puppetmasters?
