I would like to know if an SSL to SSL connection is possible.  I currently have an Apache Reverse Proxy with SSL which proxies all SSL connections to an internal Apache server also running ssl.

Internet---SSL(Proxy Server)----SSL(Internal Server).

Looking at ssl_engine_log on both servers it appears to work, but how can I for know if the ssl is being properly negociated between the proxy server and the backend server?  Is it possible to do this?

Thanks in advance,
Rick
