Pound + (Apache with SSL)

Hi list,
I would like to duplicate my Apache web server and to use 
Pound as a Load Balancer. I have installed Apache with the 
SSL module enabled, so my question: is it possible for 
Pound just  to pass all SSL connections to Apache, without 
dealing with certificates?
Any input is really appreciated,
Regards,

Giuliano

No it is not. Pound will talk HTTP to the back-ends, regardless of what
the incoming connection is. That means you do not need mod_ssl, you just
use plain Apache and configure Pound to use your original certificate.
