SSL Bridging meaning?

Question

I want to confirm context usage of SSL Bridging.  Does it mean:&nbsp;
1. SSL pass-thru&nbsp;
2. SSL terminates on the F-5 and then re-encrypts using serverssl?  &nbsp;
Im trying to understand what customers and others refer to when they say that specific comment.  I thought bridging was just another way of saying pass-thru...&nbsp;

Number one is my understanding.  SSL bridging would just be passing the session through rather than breaking the SSL.&nbsp;

I got screened out of a job once because I had never used the term, but it is actually number 2.  I was totally familiar with the concept.  Just drew a blank when I heard it as we rarely use it.  I know what the term means now though ;-D&nbsp;

You learn something new every day.  This runs contrary to what I always thought, just based on the nature of a bridge.

Thanks.  I also thought the same thing as Cory.  I appreciate the link too.&nbsp;

No problem!  I've been managing LTMs for awhile now, but just now pursuing certs.  I'm still finding plenty of things I didn't know :)  I think that job is still open if you want to work in Charlotte, NC.  You now know you will make it further through the screening process than I did.  Ha!
