Out of the box, mod_proxy cannot negotiate secure connections, so it can't connect to your backend server using https. (I don't know if anyone has gotten this to work, though). This means that you should have the backend proxy connect in the clear to your IBM server. Usually this is done with the proxy in the DMZ and the other server behind another firewall, so it is secure.
