Need SSL state to be visible behind a double nginx proxy

[Rob Schultz]

Hi,
   I am not sure if you can use the port in the server_name directive. I 
think you need to add listen directives.

Note i could be totally off on this but this is a very very simplistic 
view of what i was trying to accomplish

Basically demo'ing 3 different server configs with 2 being your 
"frontend" server's for doing SSL and then having 1 server listening on 
two ports and manually setting the protocal no the second when it is 
passed onto rails.

V/r
