Good day one and all. I would like to ask some specific SSL questions that I am sure will be easy enough. SSL has the requirement that only certificate can be loaded per IP address.

With that in mind can nginx handle hosting multiple virtual host SSL sites all listening to on IP's?

nginx can, but browsers would certainly not like this.

There is some workarounds, however:

And can I accept a "https://myhost.com/" and then load balance (proxy) that internally to normal "http://" backends?

Yes.
