I have to say that I'm likely clueless on exactly how this pound and varnish would work, but here's a simple idea that should work
main pound and varnish runs on port 80 and connects to apache on port 8080
ssl pound and varnish runs on 443 and connects to apache on 8081
you should be able to preserve the ssl chain this way.
most applications can work like this using multiple reverse proxy style setups (they need to rewrite the URL requests
if this part works the next step should be to set an ssl URL inside drupal sites/default/config
hopefully that helps, feel free to get in touch directly if you want our help more.
ps. why not drop to another caching server and use something more versatile? -- Dan Horning

Hi,
I have an uncommon environment,I am using pound and varnish in front of Apache (thanks to former site in Plone).
I want to have all the authentication/log in run through SSL. Securepage module cannot do, because it detects that the Apache server is not ding SSL. I tried to enable securepage by hand in settings.php but it resulted in a loop: I am afraid securepage is too intelligent and doing too much testing rather than simply changing from http to https.
Any idea how I can solve my problem (beside rewritting any <form that deals with user login)?
Eventually, pages displayed with https do not load the CSS. I could do with some help on that too. You could see that at https://www.cs.ait.ac.th/drupal7/
I apologize if my questions are naive, but it'd my first day at Drupal.
Best regards,
Olivier
