    Thank you guys (Daniel, Lucas, Vic and David) for your answers. I really
    appreciate your suggestions.

    Let's try to be more specific: we already use MS ISA to do the same job,
    but we are trying to move to Open Source at the perimeter (basically for
    security reason). That's why I particularly like the Apache approach,
    provided it'll safely do the job.

    By now, the communications between ISA and the backend servers are https
    as well. We'd like to replicate the scenario with the new solution too.
    So, Daniel, you are impling that Apache is capable to reverse proxy
    https to http only and not https to https, aren't you?

    What about Squid and Puond? I have had a quick look on them, but I'm
    quite sure they won't work here.

    Thanks again. Ciao,

    Andrea

    Question, is server A and B configured for https or http?

    If server A and B are configured to use http, then you could use Apache.
    Apache would terminate your https connections to mydomain.com, [...]
