[squid-users] https acceleration of multiple http servers?

Hello!

i setup successfully an squid accel. Now i want to setup
a reverse proxy like this:

          https http
internet -------> squid ---+----> httpd 1
                           |
                           |
                           +----> httpd 2
                           |
                           |
                           +----> httpd 3

where the webservers have different contents and shall be
reachable via different hostnames (it's not a loadbalancing
setup)

After reading through docs, faqs & this list, i leart that
compiling 2.5x with "--enable-ssl" and using "https_port"
would do the https part, and that using "httpd_accel_single_host",
"httpd_accel_uses_host_header" would do the 'multiple' part.

BUT:

squid has to use _different_ certs on _different_ ip addresses!
The "httpd_accel_uses_host_header" does not really help because
squid has to hand out the cert to the client depending in the
dest ip of the request, and before squid has even seen the "host:"
header!

So i need multiple "https_port/httpd_accel_host/httpd_accel_port"
triples. Can i do this in _one_ squid.conf?

(before setting up several squids i would switch over to
apache/mod_ssl/mod_proxy :-)
