I currently have a server that has a self-signed SSL cert and viewing it is 
restricted by using a private key that's been exported to Firefox.
I want to put Pound in front of this and 1 other server, so that both are using 
the same https listener in pound.cfg and the same private key on the client end 
for restricting access.
  
My confusion is mostly around where to generate the server.pem for Pound.
Do I generate the server.pem and private browser key on the pound server or 
import the server.pem from a backend server?
If the second option, does this mean I can only have one SSL backend per Pound 
instance?

I'm just at point of testing now (creating keys takes me a while) and have 
created a new CA, self-signed cert, pem file, and private key on the Pound 
server.
I have commented out all SSL stuff in the Apache httpd.conf files on both 
backend servers so now they should just pass http requests back to Pound.
I've tested that each backend resolves with http and without need for a private 
key, as I want Pound to handle this.
But I can't get Pound to resolve the backends. Am I doing something wrong or 
that isn't possible?

Here's my pound.cfg so far:

ListenHTTPS
        Address  192.168.1.140
                Port    443
                Cert "/usr/etc/server.pem"
                LogLevel 2

    Service
        BackEnd
                Address 192.168.1.141
                Port 8080
        End
    End
    
    Service
        BackEnd
                Address 192.168.1.142
                Port 8083
        End
    End    
    
End
