Load balance and re-encrypt ssl

Server NGINX
#1

Hi all,

I have been looking through the docs and have found that nginx will load
balance ssl if the cert is setup correctly. Is there an option to have
it re-encrypt before sending to the web servers? What have others done
to encrypt the traffic to their webservers (if not through nginx)? I
will be load balancing in front of IIS.

Decrypting and sending to the webservers in plain text is not an option
in my mind.

Thanks in advance.

I guess I assumed that this would just pass this through at the tcp
level. Thanks for the help!
