Thanks for the response. I've been messing around with it a bit more this-morning and think I figured it out. I set everything up a year or so ago and forgot a lot of how I did it. I have haproxy listening to 443 then taking some SNI's and sending them to the auth sub-proxy area and others getting sent to the regular ssl (unauth) sub-proxy frontend place. In the sub-proxy front-ends, I have one listening to say :2044 and had shared frontends clicked. In that subsection, I had the redirection to the backend.
I resolved it by getting rid of the :2044 shared frontend and using a custom acl backend set to "ssl_fc_sni_reg myth.<name>".
I think my problem was I had a shared frontend setup, for whatever reason, and now it's working fine. I'm no haproxy expert; just a beginner, but I hope this may shed some light into somebody else's problem.
