Check out http://www.apsis.ch/pound/

It would appear the magic search term on google is linux reverse ssl 
proxy .... I started searching for linux ssl proxy. That turned up a lot 
of stuff for wrapping plain text in encryption, not the other way 
around. :)

And yes how much traffic is a major consideration. If a lot, then you 
would want to utilize an accelerator card supported by openssl.
