I missed that I needed that setting (sslproxy_options) in a reverse proxy mode of operation. We haven't had to use any pf the sslproxy_* options.  I'll test that and see if it takes care of the issue.  

Does this option need to be placed anywhere specifically in the config?  

Also, does this require and other sslproxy_* options.  Our goal is to just stop Nessus from flagging for sslv3.   Thanks
