I think Zeus Web Server, acting as reverse proxy, does it:

Guys,

We are looking for a reverse-proxy supporting both http and https,
capable of terminating the client connections and redirecting the
requests based on URL  (something like MS ISA); caching would be nice to
have but, definitely, not mandatory; must run on OpenBSD and/or Linux.

We already know the security implications of this approach. We basically
need to share the same SSL certificate and the same DNS name between two
different servers. That is, https://mydomain.com/appA and
https://mydomain.com/appB, where requests to the first URL will be
handled by server A, and those to the latter by server B. Any hints?

Thank you in advance for any advice.

Andrea
