Pound for this (http://www.apsis.ch/pound/).

"The Pound program is a reverse proxy, load balancer and HTTPS
front-end for Web server(s). Pound was developed to enable
distributing the load among several Web-servers and to allow for a
convenient SSL wrapper for those Web servers that do not offer it
natively. Pound is distributed under the GPL - no warranty, it's free
to use, copy and give away."

I've used Pound quite a bit, easy to build, easy to configure and it
seems to fit your requirements.

Also, I'm in no way affiliated.
