Hey Aleks,<br>it's to bad that it is not possible.<br><br>but when the traffic between the LB en backend is also encrypted is'nt it a double burden for the LB server?<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2010/7/15 Aleksandar Lazic <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:al-nginx@none.at">al-nginx@none.at</a>></span><br>

Hello,<br>
here at our company we are setting up an nginx loadbalancer before a<br>
couple of webservers(2 tomcat/ 2 iis).<br>
<br>
The problem that we walk in to is that we want to do the ssl handling<br>
on the backend servers.<br>
we know how to do it on the nginx server but is it possible for nginx<br>
to pass trough all the ssl requests to the backend without handling<br>
itself?<br>

Afaik no.<br>
<br>
You will need some tcp loadbalancer (=haproxy) for this.<br>
<br>
You can talk with the backend https if you want to encrypt the<br>
communication between frontend and backend.<br>
<br>
proxy_pass https://...<br>
