Understanding how SSL is handled

I am just trying to install Pound, but am trying to understand how it 
would integrate with my App server (Jetty under JBoss).  My starting 
pound.cfg file looks like this:

    ListenHTTP 192.168.1.21, 80
    ListenHTTPS 192.168.1.21, 443 /etc/pound/poundserver.pem

    UrlGroup ".*"
    BackEnd 192.168.2.20,80,1
    Session IP 600
    EndGroup

Does this decrypt all the SSL pages and send them along to 192.168.2.20, 
port 80?  So are both unencrypted and originally encrypted pages sent to 
port 80 decrypted?  How can you tell the two apart?  ie: Was the 
incoming page http or https?  Is there a way to have the https pages 
that came in on Pound's port 443, be sent to the backend server 
machine's port 443 or a different port?  Has anyone on the list 
integrated Jetty and Pound before?  Thank you much.

Fred.
