Daniel, All load balancers work in roughly the same way:
You have a Virtual IP on the load balancer that the clients talk to, and the load balancer is configured to talk to multiple Real IPs/Backend Servers. Your old config probably had one VIP for HTTP and one for HTTPS. HAProxy is very easy but you will need to read the manual or one of the many blogs talking about how to use it. Once you have studied / installed / configured / tested / understood - then if necessary come back to the list for help.
