mod_ssl in fronend-backend Apache configuration

[BeerBong]

Hello all!

I need encrypted access to some directories on some virtual hosts.

I have lightweight proxy apache server and backend mod_perl server.

mod_ssl is not a light thing, and I need encrypt mod_perl'd script results
only, therefore I think that mod_ssl should be in back-end server. Am I
right ? Does mod_proxy pass ssl encrypted data?

And if I'm right and such configuration is possible and correct, are there
any examples of configuring 2 apache servers
frontend - mod_proxy
backend - mod_perl + mod_ssl
on the net ?
Any advices are welcome.

Thanx in advance.

the only "mod_proxy" that I've seen that will be an SSL client is the one
in stronghold... if there is a public/open source one around somewhere,
I'd love to know...

mod_proxy allows CONNECT method for SSL protocol support. I didn't try
it, though.
