In this situation the organization wants to be able to decrypt the SSL traffic ... so the proxy substitutes the certificate the target server uses with it's own.

This isn't something I'm trying to implement ... it already exists. If the customer goes to a SSL site, the CA is that shows up when you look at the SSL encryption information identifies the proxy as the CA instead of the actual site's CA.
