If you then proxy that connection to https://trans.api.hidden.com/ , then that will be a separate SSL connection between two apache servers, it will not carry any client certificates that the client initially presented to https://abc.com . wrt to your later question, apache is more than capable of proxying to itself. I'm not sure you would need the overhead of an SSL connection on a request that would never go on the wire.
