  2. What Pound is • a reverse-proxy: it passes requests from client browsers to one or more back-end servers. • a load balancer: it will distribute the requests from the client browsers among several back-end servers, while keeping session information. • an SSL wrapper: Pound will decrypt HTTPS requests from client browsers and pass them as plain HTTP to the back-end servers. • an HTTP/HTTPS sanitizer: Pound will verify requests for correctness and accept only well-formed ones. • a fail over-server: should a back-end server fail, Pound will take note of the fact and stop passing requests to it until it recovers. • a request redirector: requests may be distributed among servers according to the requested URL.

  3. What Pound is Not • Pound is not a Web server: by itself, Pound serves no content - it contacts the back-end server(s) for that purpose. • Pound is not a Web accelerator: no caching is done - every request is passed "as is" to a back-end server.

  4. Status Pound was successfully used in production with a variety of Web servers, including Apache, IIS, Zope, WebLogic, Jakarta/Tomcat, iPlanet, etc. In general Pound passes requests and responses back and forth unchanged, so we have no reason to think that any web server would be incompatible.

  5. Client browsers that were tested • IE 5.0/5.5 (Windows) HTTP/HTTPS • Netscape 4.7 (Windows/Linux) HTTP/HTTPS • Mozilla (Windows/Linux) HTTP/HTTPS • Konqueror (Linux) HTTP/HTTPS • Galleon (Linux) HTTP/HTTPS • Opera (Linux/Windows) HTTP/HTTPS • Lynx (Linux) HTTP

  6. Installation • Probably the easiest way to install Pound is to use a pre-compiled package if you can find one. While Apsis offers no such packages, they are available for quite a few systems (SuSE Linux, Debian and derivatives such as Ubuntu, as well as some private packages: • RPMs for RedHat are available at http://www.invoca.ch/pub/packages/pound/ • A nice FreeBSD live-CD distribution is available at http://www.targeted.org/files/fbsd71_pound244.iso.gz, including a Pound binary. • Packages for CRUX Linux are available from http://ports.sterneck.asia/shin/#pound. • Example on Ubuntu Server Edition : apt-get install pound
