I'm aware of a few recent ads in some sys admin magazines for "hardware" load balancers (that run load balancing software) that do SSL processing on-board. The SSL tickets and sessions get managed in front of the servers. I've searched the last two months of SysAdmin and this month's Linux Journal without finding them, but that's definitely the way to go. I'll keep my eyes open.
