Just to provide an update. The client wanted for now to set-up SSL only on one server and I was able to do this successfully. In a few weeks, he will be looking to put the load balancer in play at which time I will follow those instructions provided and let you know.

My situation is the network load balancer currently only accepts requests on port 80. <br />
<br />
I want to be able to redirect URLs to an SSL site but be able to use the load balancing if possible rather than just redirect to a specific URL in which case I would lose the load balancing because I assume I would have to enter in a specific URL when redirecting. Is this possible?

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.

HTTPS is a protocol for secure communication over a computer network which is widely used on the Internet. HTTPS consists of communication over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) within a connection encrypted by Transport Layer Security (TLS) or its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The main motivation for HTTPS is authentication of the visited website and to protect the privacy and integrity of the exchanged data. HTTPS is widely used for protecting page authenticity on all types of websites, securing accounts and keeping user communications, identity and web browsing private.
