Mongrel users - Aug 2006 - IIS proxying to lighttpd/apache to mongrel with SSL

This might not be a mongrel question so much as an IIS question, and
if so, my apologies.

I''m needing to switch a (ASP.NET) web application that''s
running
behind a firewall appliance on IIS on port 8443 under SSL to a rails
web application -- a mongrel instance (and perhaps later apache or
lighttpd with new mod_core_prox in front of mongrel) on a different
server.

I remember Apache proxy_pass confs having to foward on a special
request to let mongrel know it''s SSL, and I''ve also seen that
for IIS
forwarding, I''ll need to use a reverse_proxy_pass plugin.  Are there
any other snafus with all that redirection?

I see: http://www.napcs.com/howto/rails/deploy/ (Brian Hogan, if
you''re on here, great work, thanks)

Just curious if it''s a lot of work, if so, I''ll just gladly
pay to
rekey the SSL cert to apache/lighttpd and be done with it.  Thanks,
