Answer 1

I can refer you to OHS server acting as a front-end to Oracle WebLogic Servers which is similar to acting as a Load balancer to to the WebLogic servers. FYI, this is for a use case from Oracle Fusion Middleware using a Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) as front for Oracle WebLogic Servers (WLS) with the use of mod_wl_ohs. If you are already aware of mod_wl_ohs directive then proceed with the below link for "Configuring the mod_wl_ohs plug-in of OHS". If not then read up this directive or configuration called as "mod_wl_ohs" which you will use now. (typically you will be modifying a file called as mod_wl_ohs.conf in the OHS server). In summary mod_wl_ohs receives a request requiring a Managed Server (of the WebLogic cluster), it sends that request to one of the WebLogic cluster members listed in the directive of mod_wl_ohs. Next you will need to configure this mod_wl_ohs to use ssl. Here is a good blog that provides steps for enabling ssl with mod_wl_ohs

Read Configuring the mod_wl_ohs plug-in for OHS This chapter provides the steps to configure mod_wl_ohs. mod_wls_ohs is the plug-in for proxying requests from Oracle HTTP Server to Oracle WebLogic server. So what this means is that your OHS is front-ending the incoming requests, which then get forwarded to the WebLogic servers (or WebLogic cluster). Note: The mod_wl_ohs module is included in the Oracle HTTP Server installation. You need not download and install it separately.
