Maybe not exactly what you are looking for, but have you thought of
using IPSec? You could deploy IPSec and encrypt every connection from
your clients to the Proxy.
I don't know what you are trying to achieve, but if your objective is
to encrypt connections from the Clients to the proxy, IPSec would be
perfectly transparent and scalable.
