For me to make this work on my setup I had to install some Perl Modules, if
you use Ldirectord -d to debug you will see a internal error on messages
checking SSL

My config that works now:

virtual = <IP>:443

        real = <IP>:443 gate 10

        real = <IP>:443 gate 10

        real = <IP>:443 gate 10

        real = <IP>:443 gate 10

        real = <IP>:443 gate 10

        real = <IP>:443 gate 10

        persistent = 3600

        scheduler = wrr

        service = https

checktype = negotiate

checkport = 443

request = "server.php"

receive = "ok"

virtualhost = "<ssl-domain>"


The modules I have installed (dunno which worked)


Crypt-SSLeay-0.64-Pc0dMJ

IO-Socket-SSL-1.953-c7ub4t

Net-SSLeay-1.55-8NXQ3I


Installed all via cpan.


The thing is to always check the debug from ldirectord -d -c <config-file>
cause it tells you what's failing
