[Zope] Complicated mix of http, https, and ProxyPass

I'm having quite the issue right now and am wondering if there is a workaround
for it. (let me know if i'm posting to the wrong place)

Basically my setup is as follows:

I have apache 1.3.19/mod_ssl running with ProxyPass setup for /Zope to
"localhost:9080.."  I want, however, */manage to always go over SSL.  I already
have it setup to block non-ssl attempts to */manage with FilesMatch rules in
apache.  I don't want the rest of the site to go require SSL, but the only way,
apparently to have */manage use SSL is to have a siteroot object with the base
set to https.  This makes every link that uses that dtml variable use https.

Is there any way I could only have admin interface require SSL?  Without having
the rest of the site do so?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
