HAProxy load balancer, to Nginx for SSL offloading

HAProxy load balancer, to Nginx for SSL offloading
June 10, 2013 12:06AM
Ok I will keep this short. I am trying to find information on this, but am not having any luck. We currently have an HAProxy box doing our load balancing for our web servers, then the SSL occurring on the servers themselves. What I need is to setup an additional server running NGINX to handle all of the SSL's. (for now just one server to verify operation).
So the setup:
In from internet to HAProxy,
HAProxy hands sites SSL request to Nginx
Nginx server to handle SSL cert, everything passed back to HAProxy,
HAProxy then passes to internal web server as standard HTTP (I'm assuming, now that Nginx is doing all SSL).
XForward will need to be in Nginx as well to preserver the originating IP

How would I go about accomplishing this? This looks like a quite straight forward setup, I'm surprised I can't seem to find any documentation on anything remotely close to this on google, please help! Thanks in advance!
