You can't really use apache for this. The ssl encryption is done at the transport layer, so if the loadbalancer is not supposed to decrypt anything this loadbalancer won't know anything but origin and destination port and ip. For reverse proxying apache needs to know the URL requested. for your needs I'd look in to a real load balancer, either hardware or software. There are a few good open source products available.
