I've just started using Pound and I'm very impressed with it's elegance
and simplicity (not to be confused with simple).

I have one problem that I can't seem to figure out. I'm getting the
following error message whenever I send a request to my proxy (Pound)
server:

	"Redirection limit for this URL exceeded. Unable to load the 	requested
page. This may be caused by cookies that are blocked."

I have a straight forward setup with a proxy server (Pound) and two
backend servers (Apache). I added "RewriteRedirect 0" to my config. and
it fixed the problem, but now the URL is not being rewritten... Any
suggestions? Thanks.

I've verified that the server(s) aren't using cookies (that could be
getting blocked). Also, FWIW, there are 20 messages (302 Found) on the
Proxy server before I get the error. It would appear that I'm somehow in
a loop. All I want is for the URL to retain the name of the proxy
server, rather than change to whichever backend server that it redirects
to... Help!

Here's my config:

# Pound config. file 03/14/2005

ListenHTTP 123.123.123.123,80

RewriteRedirect 0

User nobody
Group nogroup
ExtendedHTTP 1
LogLevel 2
Client 15
Alive 15

UrlGroup ".*"
#Address, Port, Priority (higher no. = higher usage)
BackEnd 124.124.124.124,80,2
BackEnd 125.125.125.125,80,1
EndGroup

I think I know what's going on... I changed my config. to point to a
backend server on the same subnet and it worked like a champ (I'm in a
corp. environment with firewalls in between networks)! Can someone
explain to me what's happening? Also, Is there a setting that I can
enable in Pound to allow my packets to traverse thru a firewall(s)?
Thanks.

I figured it out. It was cookie(s) that was causing
the problem! I added a line in the config. for session
(session COOKIES id 600) and it worked!
