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
