if it gets too complex using an internal card, you can use something like
Intel's 7110 or 7115 'bridge-like' devices.  they have no IP address and
would sit in front of your LVS box (if using NAT) ...

(pretty cheap and very simple to integrate)
http://www.intel.com/network/idc/products/accel_7115.htm - 600 ssl/second

then again maybe you already have hardware and don't have the budget :)
