I am testing pound and I have this configuration:

ListenHTTP *,80
UrlGroup ".*"
HeadRequire Host    ".*.www.mydomain.it.*"
BackEnd 10.0.0.100,80,1
EndGroup

All works ok but, if I stress the web server (Apache 1.3.27 + PHP4.3.4 
on Windows 2000), some times I receive error "500 Internal Server Error"
(log pound: pound: response error read from 10.0.0.100:80: Connection 
reset by peer).
I receive the error only if I browse the web through pound 
(www.mydomain.it), if  I browse the web from LAN dirctly through 
10.0.0.100, it's all right.

Any help and suggestion will be appreciate.
Regards, Lorenzo.

Hey Lorenzo,
I had this problem, particularly with zope pages that needed to do a 
lot of loading for the first view.
I fixed it by adding
   Server 30
under ListenHTTP, to prevent pound timing out on my slow server.

I have just modified my pound.cfg, I tried:

Server 30 (60)
Client 10

Server 0
Client 30 (60, 3)

but my problem doesn't change.
My web server logs this error message:
FATAL:  erealloc():  Unable to allocate 360448 bytes

Thanks, Lorenzo.

So perhaps the 500 *is* coming from the server, in these circumstances, 
not from pound. Pound is just passing on the bad news. I'd want to 
confirm that with a tcpdump of the server traffic.
Just a wacky thought, but I wonder if having the Server *lower* would 
help? Don't know off-hand what the default is, but if pound holds the 
connection too long, it may consume resources on your server.
It may not feel that way, but you have made progress ;) Information is 
Power!
