At present we do not need to perform discretionary access controls.
Still I am very interested in the way you approached the problem.
Could you please give me some more infos on how you managed to configure
the reverse proxy in order for it to speak https with the web server?
What is really confusing me (I am quite a newbie) is the way how the two
web servers can initiate the ssl handshacking......
I do believe that you used something different than Apache + ModSSL.......
Thank you very much for your answer  :-)

If your actual web server uses discretionary access controls, this is the
approach that you must take.  Using Server/Server certificates needed for
your second approach resulted in a loss of user identity when we started
doing this several years ago.
