SSL Question -- offloading SSL to an accelerator such as F5?

I have what should be a quick question. We are looking to start hosting a few sites on AbleCommerce in the coming months and use an F5 BIG-IP load-balancer that supports SSL acceleration. Is this known to work with AbleCommerce or do we have to use SSL features as provided by IIS 6/7?

Sorry if this is a duplicate question -- the search feature here doesn't seem to be returning results for searches on "SSL" and similar terms.

Hello,

How does the system let AbleCommerce know things are running in SSL or do you plan on running the entire website on SSL? Is there are query string added to the URL when it's in ssl mode?
