Note that there is also sniproxy, which does not terminate but
forwards correctly the SSL sessions based on the server name present
on client hello.

Do you have some more information on that? Is there a known "protocol"
to forward SSL connections to another process which listens to unix
sockets? It would be even more interesting if there was not any
termination at all and the SSL session was forwarded as is (e.g., via
file descriptor passing).
