Hi Victor,

Your /var/log/messages file should have something like this:

[pound]  HTTP socket bind 1.2.3.4:80: Address already in use - aborted

If so, then you have a web server running in tandem with your pound server.
That's no good. Shut that guy off and try pound again.

Pound will go up and sit idle with no connection escrowing even when none of
the BE servers are responding.

In this case, though, it looks like pound can't get the server socket on
port 80, so it can't handle your connection. Therefore, when you connect
your IE to your "pound server", you're actually hitting your HTTP server
that is also running on that box.

If you do a "netstat -n -a" do you see someone sitting on "*:80" when pound
is not running???
