Hello Apache specialist :-),

Last couple of months [I set up a server with two virtual 
machines](https://jeroenverhoeckx.com/build-your-own-personal-cloud.html). To 
reach those virtual machines I set up a reverse proxy and I configured the SSL 
certificates on the host.

My question:
Would it have been possible to install the SSL certificates in the virtual 
machines?

As far as I know, no, because then the reverse proxy can be seen as a 'man in 
the middle attack'.
This is why I configured the SSL certificates on the host, and as far as I know 
this is also how it should be (after reading some articles about it on the 
internet).

I do however also found the Apache directive 
[SSLProxyEngine](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_ssl.html#SSLProxyEngine).
 Is it possible with this directive the install/configure the SSL certificates 
inside the virtual machines?

I'm curious :-)!

Yours sincerely,

Jeroen Verhoeckx
