This is going back a few years but let me give it a shot

 

 

Here is an example of creating a SSL Proxy

 

 

Create a virtual address (Using a loopback address) containing a pool with N amount of servers in them

 

Virtual 127.0.0.12:80 --> Pool_of_servers

 

 

Create the SSL proxy the proxy address will be 192.168.1.12:443 (assuming that address is what your clients can get) and it points to 127.0.0.12:80 as the destination.

 

 

Ultimately the client will go to the SSL proxy which will then forwarding to the loopback virtual and on to the servers.

 

 

Hope this helps
