For me it looked like some kind of proxy, dealing with the incomming
ssl/443/encrypted 
traffic, decrypts it and passed http/80/decrypted traffic to the LVS .
By the way, i didnt had any acclerator cards for the apache box, i just used
the apache 
rewrite and proxy pass mod which is doing the decrytion job.
