hi

i don't know why you would want to do this, but your best bet is to see whether any proxy servers support this mechanism (apache with mod_proxy, or squid is a good place to start), that is, receiving a HTTPS request, mapping it to a HTTP url, fetch and pass through the data.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypass

situate the proxy in front of the LVS director and have it pass the vanilla HTTP request through LVS.that's in essence what you want - a single server handling SSL with the actual work load-balanced, right ?

nick

does anybody has an ideay or knows how i could implement
some kind of ssl encapsulation on a lvs host which translates
from ssl to http so that the webservers behind taks only
html and lvs is doing the ssl encryption ?
that would be soemthing like the bigip ecommerce controler ?

many thx

Matthias
