Pound on

After trying nginx I have pound running on my DD-WRT-router (an Asus WL-500
Premium SOHO-router).
Nginx was too heavy for my poor 260 MHz MIPS-CPU. After taking a glance at
HaProxy I installed Pound.

I need this proxy on my router because I have several appliances in my home
with a webserver which I want to access using subdomains on port 80. I already
have a little script on my router that writes a configuration based on the
hosts that are already configured in its DNS. I wrote it for nginx, but now I
have to write one for pound.

In nginx I was able to include directories with the statements:

    include /tmp/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
    include /opt/etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;

Because pound works with only one file (AFAIK), my shell script needs to write
the whole configuration file, which is far from elegant. Maybe I can use
patch....

My question is:

Does pound support more than 1 config-file for 1 listen session?
If so...  how?
If not... could this be incorporated?

I'm totally new to pound, so I don't know how this project is running.
I would also like to know if pound is the best choice for my application?
