Thanks for the input. I'm using the net5501 as a load balancer using nginx as a reverse proxy. nginx does the SSL decryption then sends the requests unencrypted to the right web server. It works well but doesn't scale well under load, I was hoping that using a crypto accelerator would solve my problem but I guess I'll have to use a bigger machine.
