The configuration file looks like this. As you can see it looks really simple. It's just one proxy (ubuntu) trying to hit two Windows servers. Also I restarted the ubuntu machine and after that I don't even get the message anymore I just get a page cannot be displayed.

## Minimal sample pound.cfg

## see pound(8) for details


######################################################################
## global options:

User        "www-data"

##    1    normal

## check backend every X secs:

## listen, redirect and ... to:

## redirect all requests on port 8080 ("ListenHTTP") to the local webserver (see "Service" below):

    Port    80

    ## allow PUT and DELETE also (by default only GET, POST and HEAD)?:

        BackEnd
            Address xx.xx.xx.xx
            Port 80
        End
    End
End

Hello,

Please post your config file.

"Server Unavailable" sounds like a back end response. If you are redirecting
to IIS and ASP.NET, then "Server Unavailable" means your application is not
working on the web server.

Pound will write errors to the /var/log/messages (linux) file. I suggest you
"tail -f /var/log/messages" and then try to hit your farm again. That will
tell you if pound is working or not. If you don't get any output, then pound
is not handling the connection. In that case, check your firewall settings.
