Yes, but you should be able to correlate your snort logs with
the logs of the proxy.  Not neccesarily in real time, but you
would only need to do it when snort catches something.

It's a tradeoff, for sure, but the sslproxy would allow you
to at least look into the traffic going to your webserver.

Of course, if you control the proxy, you could probably add
extra HTTP headers that show the original requester.
