HTTPS and reverse proxy query

Hi

I have an HTTPS client sending SOAP requests via a reverse Proxy Apache
which I'd like to simply forward (as HTTPS) traffic onto a SOAP server where
the SSL connection will terminate.

It seems from what I can find out this is only?? possible if Apache first
establishes the SSL connection with the client and then proxies the request
through to the SOAP server by creating a new HTTPS connection between RP and
SOAP server.

Is this the case?

My question is, can I set up Apache in such a way that it simply passes
(proxies) the client's encrypted HTTPS request onto the server along with
the client cert? I'm happy to store a second (permanent) copy of the client
cert on the Apache server, if necessary, but I didn't want the overhead of
Apache having to set up a new connection between itself and the SOAP server
for each request.

Any comments much appreciated.
