Subject: Double SSL connection with a proxy

Hi guys..

Any one has an idea how to configure apache + proxy_mod + ssl_mod to have the following network configuration:

     Local (10.1.1.1)  <=== SSL(x) ==>  [ Proxy 139.x.x.x] <==== SSL(y) ===> [HTTPS server 149.x.x.x]

I want to hide the identity of Local machine, and when a Local machine request a HHTPS connection to an outer server, then the Proxy will mimic the request and request the data on the Client behalf using SSL connection (SSL(y)). The proxy then decrypts the packet (for inspection) and re-encrypts back using another SSL (x) connection to send it back to Local machine. All machines are unix boxes.

Any hint is highly appreciated..

Thanks  :)
