Actually I think I characterized this problem the wrong way.

It appears that neither haproxy nor nginx (when used as a proxy) are
reliable on our pfSense firewall.  They will work for a while, then they
stop passing traffic for a while, then they work awhile.  Restarting them
doesn't make them responsive immediately.  I am at a loss to explain this.
I've confirmed there are no other processes listening on port 443 on any IP
(virtual or physical).  If anyone has ideas I'd love to hear them.
