Exchange Server 2013 Outlook Anywhere SSLOffloading

The product team made Exchange 2013 Outlook Anywhere SSLOffloading the default value as true which is not in the Exchange 2007/2010. Not sure is there any specific reason but it should be enabled for SSL offloading. The documentation is not much clear as we have in Exchange 2010 and 2007 other than just note on Exchange 2013 powershell command to configure Outlook anywhere: -

Exchange 2013 Ref: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123545%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx

Exchange 2007 -  Ref: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123889%28v=exchg.80%29.aspx

Do not use this option unless you are sure that you have an SSL accelerator that can handle SSL offloading. If you do not have an SSL accelerator that can handle SSL offloading, and you select this option, Outlook Anywhere will not function correctly.

Exchange 2010 - Ref: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123542%28v=exchg.141%29.aspx

Don't use this option unless you're sure that you have an SSL accelerator that can handle SSL offloading. If you don't have an SSL accelerator that can handle SSL offloading, and you select this option, Outlook Anywhere won't function correctly.
