I am not sure I understand what you mean with "encrypting it with a given
cert". I am guessing it means that your client must present a specific
client certificate to the remote server. This SSL functionality was present
in mod_ssl versions for 1.3 if you compiled with SSL_EXPERIMENTAL flag, but
was not working very well.
Apache 2.0 includes robust support for that functionality (thanks to Doug
MacEachern of mod_perl fame) and I recommend you use that. The directive you
want is SSLProxyMachineCertificateFile, for specifying the client
certificate(s) to present to the remote server. It is not documented
currently on the Apache project, but take a look at :
http://www.covalent.net/support/docs/faststart/2.0.0/userguide/html/sslconfigure.php#1138492

Hope it helps

Daniel
