John, HP SSL accelerators have been painlessly deployed at one of our sites for E-com applications. I don't know much about them but I thought you might want to know of more options. Quote from HP: ...greatly freeing up server resources and processing.

We are looking at buying some new load balancing switches and new cache engines and somewhere in that mix we want to add SSL acceleration. One vendor that we're looking at sells load balancing switches with SSL acceleration built-in. Of course, they really like their way of doing this. The

The problem we're trying to solve is this: before a user logs into our secure site all content is cacheable. Once they've logged in, *none* of it is cacheable because everything is encapsulated in SSL. This puts a huge load on our servers, trying to serve up secure version of our webpages
