I'm not an expert here but I think that's it. Does it not work? I have no experience with the new Pound RC which can do HTTPS to the backend. When doing HTTP to the backend, problems can arise if your webapp is smart and believes you are not running HTTPS, therefore it may refuse to do security sensitive things. If that's the case you have to let your webserver/app know that the traffic is still secure.
