11503 Content Switch and SSL Termination - Cookie Handling

I'm looking for some insight on how the 11503 handles SSL termination, specifically with regard to cookie handling. We are going to be installing a 11503, so it can handle load balancing, content switching and SSL termination instead of IIS / WLBS. If you move SSL termination off of the Web servers and disable SSL in IIS, how does ASP.NET handle secure cookies? We want to set requireSSL="true" in Web.config, but since the Web server will no longer be running SSL, it won't enforce that attribute. I was wondering if the content switch passed any special header to IIS, or if the content switch can be configured to add the secure attribute to all cookies. I haven't found anything in the documentation so far.

Thanks!
