Hi all,

  Yesterday I attended a conference in the OSWC in Malaga regarding web 
scalability. The author, Alvaro, is also the main developer of Cherokee, one 
of the fstest web servers around and rapidly increasing its usage.

  Well, he is a friend of mine and we talked about the balancer. He knew PLB 
and I told him about Pound.

  Which one is better? Faster? More scalable? It seems PLB laks some features 
Pound has, but at the same time, if you read their website, it seems it 
scales better than Pound.

  What do you think? The author talked about joining forces with one of the 
two to improve the speed of a load balancing solution based on PLB/Pound and 
Cherokee.

  Well, that was it. Just reporting this talk into the list.

  Regards.

Pydirector, a load balancer written in Python may also be of interest.
