Someone PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong but.....

SSL uses keys.  You should have the key to the servers you control.  Grab the
key.  You could then have a ssl-decode plugin that uses the key to decode the
traffic and then pass it thru snort.

Of course, I'm not a coder and I'm not a ssl person (at all!) so I might be
smokin' crack.  ;-)
