This sounds like exactly what stunnel does.
You want to have host A talk to Server A via SSL so you run stunneld on
it. Then it will redirect that connection to server B via non-SSL.
What protocol are we talking about here?
Let's assume it's https:
On Server A, setup stunnel with a conf file with these lines (as well as
many others surely)
[https]
accept = 443
connect = serverb.smartbox.ca:80
Then your host connects to server a, negotiates SSL and the information
is sent to the other server.
I think your biggest issue is going to be the certificate on Server A so
that the Host connects to the Server without certificate issues.
