Environment
DNN 4.9.5
Web Farm with 2 web servers on F5 load balancer
Virtual IP pointing to the 2 web server IPs. 
DFS used to replicate between 2 web servers and "Sync Server"
Sync Server has PowerCache by PowerDNN installed
Also use NCache for session and .Net objects on 2 web servers

Questions
We installed a cert and enabled SSL in Site Settings.

Immediately after hitting update in Site Settings, it seemed like the page was redirecting to itself over and over.

When navigating throughout the rest of the site, there are no problems (all pages have https).  

The weird thing is, we never enabled SSL on the individual pages via page settings.

I decided to change a page so that the "secure" property was checked.

The page started acting like Site Settings, seemingly redirecting to itself.

I went into the Tabs table and changed isSecure to false for that page and all Admin/Host pages (which were all set to true). 

The redirecting stopped, and I was able to navigate throughout the site, including site settings, without any problems.

Our entire site must use SSL, so I am wondering if it is actually working since the pages aren't set to "secure" in the page settings?

When I sign in via super user or admin, it gives me the mixed mode prompts on every single page because the DNN control panel uses http in its code.  Is there a way to force that to https or any other solution?

Also, what portal alias should I be using since I have a VIP and 2 web server IPs?   I currently just use the VIP and it seems to be working fine, but wasn't 100% sure that this is correct.

Thanks for your time.

Chad
