Hello! Thank you for your response!True, the load would be twice as high, but my tests showed, that even with that setup, in front of multiple webservers (with a simple php page) which load with tests went to sky high turing load tests, one balancer in Vmware with this config and 512MB RAM & one 1Ghz proccessor was enough and it's load was between 4-12. So, I think that load should not be issue, also its possible to add more than one SSL offloader and balancer with same configuration.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but by any change, did you think, that my applications are on the same server also? Or did you suggest, that I should have SSL terminating and balancing on separate machines?

Hi Margus, The point of these things (SSL termination and load balancing) is to generally distribute the workload across multiple machines, allowing a site to scale to a larger number of visitors. If you're doing them all on one machine, it's actually worse, as now you have all the same work being done on one machine, but you have the overhead of multiple apache instances and a more complex setup as well.

Basically there 2 Apache instances running on the same machine with different configurations, one for SSL offload, other for balancing - client -> SSL offload -> Balancer -> backend server. If anyone would give feedback, just in form: "I like it" or "it's useless", I'd be glad. More detailed and constructive feedback would be even more appreciated.
