Not that I know of. SSL is very different from SSL-tunneling (what a
proxy does).

In SSL-tunneling the SSL request is encapsulated in a HTTP request with
method CONNECT.

The good news is that you probably don't need it. If you are
accelerating one server then a plain TCP plug is what you want.

To accelerate multiple servers you need to have the same amount of
accelerating IP addresses as you have IP addresses on your accelerated
servers.
