Hello!Thank you for your response! Glad to hear that I am not the only, who has thought that this solution would make life easier.
Taking Apache-Event into use in our case is not an option, as Apache2-mpm-itk is used (proccesses running in different user rights) and new TCP connection has to be started for new client - it would be possible to assign different IP-s for different hosts, but named hosting is much easier to configure.
If you would be so kind and take a look at the documentation also and give your oppinion: https://apache2-ssloffload-and-loadbalance.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/Documentation/apache2_ssloffload_and_loadbalance.pdf
Page 3 contains summary - how it works - and most of it is automatic install + configuration by copy-paste to bash.

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. Project homepage and referrals to .pdf and .odf files are: https://code.google.com/p/apache2-ssloffload-and-loadbalance/ Best regards, Margus PÃrtI didn't read any of your docs, but this is effectively how we have been hosting our websites for about the last 3-4 years. We have a pair of routers, which round-robin balances (with state) each http requests onto one of a pair (or more, but currently a pair) of boxes. These boxes all have the appropriate IPs of the hosted sites assigned to their loopback (so that each machine can handle any correctly routed request). Each box has a pair of apache instances running on it, one running apache-worker and doing SSL termination and proxying to the second instance, running apache-event. The second instance serves all static files, and proxys content from the application servers. Each application is then split into a number of backends, and we use mod_proxy_balancer on the proxies to manage which ones are active.one 1Ghz proccessor was enough and it's load was between 4-12That's successful? If I look at graphs of our load average, it never goes above 1.
