I have a Dell PE-2950 running Oracle application server.
I have the need to use SSL between the desktops and
the app server. This is in an intra-net, but with
some sensitive data.
I'm investigating:
1) turning on SSL in the Oracle app server software
This may require a bigger box and maybe more $$ to
oracle for licensing.
2) some kind of SSL proxy which would listen, translate
and pass along to the app server. Multiple ports are involved.
?- it looks like hardware SSL devices may be primarily
for big-pipe super-duper installations and mega-$$ ?
We are 100Mbs and not that many users.
?- is there a solution using a second SL box sitting
in front of the app server?
Thanks for any help you might be pleased to extend.

Perhaps stunnel?
+1 on stunnel.
remember ssh can forward arbitrary ports to encrypt the data in the network
pipeline.
I think squid would only be useful in an HTTP protocol situation, which the OP
didn't clearly specify.
Software only solutions would be fine for 100Mb/s connections with reasonably
modern processors as long as you're not CPU-bound already.
