Proxy_Pass to another vhost on same machine

Hello,
I am attempting to use ca.mydomain.com with client certificate auth as a
springboard for other sites on the same server. I am using client certs with
my iphone (and other browsers) to skip the password auth and be more secure.
The first two proxy_pass statements work fine (sickbeard and couchpotato)
but the next (munin) gives the error 400 Bad Request No required SSL
certificate was sent. If I put the address
(https://tools.mydomain.com/munin) in my address bar it works fine? I don't
understand why it is requesting the client cert for the subdomain that
doesn't use client auth. The tools.mydomain.com uses basic auth.

Secondly I want to access the tools.mydomain.com from ca.mydomain.com and
not be prompted for the basic auth password. So I want to include the
authorization in the proxying.

Any help you all can provide would be great. I hope I explained my issue
well enough!


server {
		listen my.ip.address:80;
		server_name ca.mydomain.com;
		rewrite        ^ https://$server_name$request_uri? permanent;
}

server {
		listen my.ip.address:443 ssl spdy;
		ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/certs/my.pem;
		ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/private/my.key;
