How about hardware based? I know there are SSL to non-ssl hardware devices
that turn all incoming SSL into non-SSL so your web-app is completely
non-ssl based, but the web browser to the server (ssl device) is secure. I
know there are some that can handle 1000's of ssl transactions per second
(but you'll pay big money for those).
