I must have been half-asleep when I first read this.

Some SSL proxy implementations (VPN appliances) allow you to chain SSL 
traffic:

- user negotiates and uses SSL to the proxy
- proxy negotiates and uses SSL to servers

VOIP also uses this technique to protect SIP from UA to proxy servers 
and from proxy to proxy across SIP domains.
