We setup the server and services with the fqdn, but it always reverts to IP address for the connectivity. We did a rewrite policy to replace the hostname, but it still tries to send via IP. Anyone have a good writeup on doing this type of connectivity?

Create a SSL profile and set the common name.
Not 100% sure, maybe you can also do it on a http profile,though a rewrite should work as well. Make sure the remove any header that triggers compression, and make sure you hit the policy!
