Verisign Certificates, Pound and Routing

Hi


Thanks Jonathan for your speedy response. I was able to view the Verisign cert.
and get pound working. Now i am facing another interesting problem. 
During testing, I had connected my computer and the reverse proxy on to a hub
and on the back-end there was a firewall after which, the internal network and
my web server were located. Everything worked well and I was able to viewl the
website from my computer via the reverse proxy.
The problem appears when I insert a firewall between the reverse proxy and my
computer. I can't seem to get to my site. ( I have tried setting my firewall to
permit all traffic but still... nothing) Is there some routing Issues that I
need to tackle? what type of routes am I to put on the reverse proxy so as to
permit anyone with any ip address to view my site?
your assistance is greatly appreciated.
- Ken

Sounds like a firewall problem... I put my firewall outside the 
rev-proxy, rather than in-between.  But I have simple firewall needs, I 
let everything on 80 & 443 into be parsed by Pound.

I'm using a very simple firewall, only allowing HTTP, HTTPS, & SSH 
traffic... I'm afraid I'm not an HTTP(S) traffic expert.

My Two Cents. Try putting your firewall outside the proxy/hub/server, 
get through your firewall to a server, then reroute to pound.
