Question about pound.cfg options
<Thomas.Asten(at)t-systems.com>

Hi!

I have a question about two options I have seen in the pound.cfg.

The first is "Alive". It has a value of 15. What does it mean? For what is 
it good?

The second one is "Client". This one has a value of 10 . . . same 
questions . . .

It would be nice, if someone can help me!

Thanks in advance!

Thomas

man pound:

       Alive value
              Specify how often Pound will check for resurected back-end
              hosts (default: 30 seconds). In general, it is a good idea
              to set this as low as possible - it will find resurected
              hosts faster. However, if you set it too low it will consume
              resources - so
              beware.


       Client value
              Specify for how long Pound will wait for a client request
              (default: 10 seconds). After this long has passed without
              the client sending any data Pound will close the connection.
              Set it higher if your clients time-out on a slow network or
              over-loaded server, lower is you start getting DOS attacks
              or
              run into problems with IE clients.


With kind regards,

Tijmen
