Not this way. The proxy can't identify the virtual host that the client requests because that information (the Host header) is encrypted. The whole point of SSL is to encrypt the data packets between the client and the destination server. Intermediate components are in the dark...

There is nothing in the current specification of HTTP that allows what you want to do.
