What is the 'application ssl' do? I can set protocol tcp and port 443 and everything seems to work fine. Does it have to work with 'advanced-balance ssl' too?

Thanks.

It's an advanced config parameter for configuring stickyness on ssl. Take a look at this for more information http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/webscale/css/advcfggd/sticky.htm

The "advanced-balance ssl" command is actually the command that initiates sticking on the SSL session ID. The "application ssl" tells the CSS that it needs to look at the appropriate offset in the packet for the SSL session id. Remember that this is post handshake so the url "/*" command has to be used to bump the rule up to an L5 rule.
