Actually, thats quite irrelevant. The load of the machine is the same
regardless of how many services it is running. You can just use that for all
the services, since the load will just increase faster and that will in turn
lead to the scheduler reducing the new connections...

No. SSL connections will not come from the same port, since the clients open
many of them at once, just like with normal http.

But like I said: really hard to get working, and even harder to get right ;-)
(At least I think so)
Since this would require the connection to be established basically to the
load balancer, which would analyse the request and then pass it on
transparently.
