I was wondering if anyone here had any opinions on if this would actually work. 'm just trying to find a way to get two apache web servers, running on Linux/Xen machines, with SSL sites, to work behind a load balancer.

OR you can use stunnel OR Pound to terminate the HTTPS then forward to HAProxy as HTTP and use HAProxy in full http mode where you can insert cookies...... You can even make the whole thing transparent but that gets a bit tricky . Just Google for HAProxy & TProxy...
