Jose,
I have discovered what I did wrong.
I did the original stunnel installs from the command line and then installed the stunnel service from the command line as well. When I installed the stunnel service it would break the website. So I removed the service (I thought) then I copied a shortcut to stunnel.exe to the Win start up> program folder. Both sites started working on the servers as long as I was logged in through an RDP session.
I uninstalled everything and reinstalled. Stunnel 5.32 installs a Windows GUI on Server 2012 as well so I went back and used the Windows server 2012 desktop applications to install the windows service and to stop the GUI application.
Everything is now working as expected.
It appears that I was running two instances of stunnel at the same time and I didn’t completely remove the original stunnel service.
Thanks for all of your help,
Cheers,
Michael

Michael,
Please take this in constructive way. I am trying to help, but it looks like you need to do some reading and homework.
Please check http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://catb.org/%7Eesr/faqs/smart-questions.html
I suggest you draw a picture of your environment and explain well what you're trying to achieve. Show your client, your backend server, your stunnel server, include the IPs and ports they're listening to and everything should be easier. Don't forget any firewalls thay may be in the way.
Regards,
Jose.

Hi Jose,
I made the changes you suggested, but I am still getting the same behavior.
My external address is: https://website.company.com/website
I am not adding any ports to the address.
Thanks so much for your help!

Michael,
I guess what you want to do is to be able to connect to your internal Webserver via your Win2012 stunnel proxy using a URL like:
https://yourwin2012dnsname:9001/ https://yourwin2012dnsname:9009/
if that is correct, I suggest to adjust your configuration as follows:
1. Your stunnel mode must be server, not client. So adjust your service stanza as follows:
[CLI9F529A0A]
accept=9001
connect=10.xxx.xxx.xxx:9009
client=no
2. In your current configuration stunnel is listening only in the localhost ipv4 address (127.0.0.1). Therefore, you can only connect when you are logged on the server, you can't connect from a remote client.
Hope this helps you clarify what's going on.
Regards,
Jose

Once logged in to the server I can open a browser on the server and connect through https://localhost/website and I can log in to the site externally as expected.
Here are the log files from IIS and stunnel where stunnel is running as a service on the Windows 2012 server:
