Guys,

My site was setup under a Verizon FiOS static IP. It absolutely FLEW when
it first launched. 

Then I was asked to setup a second web server and load balance the two.
Someone recommended using pound for this, and I got it setup rather easily.

But the problem is now the site is incredibly slow to load! Once it loads
the site clicks through rapidly. But the initial load times are terrible. 

If I take pound out of the equation and point the firewall to one of the
web servers instead of the pound load balancer it speeds right back up.
Change again back to pound and it slows right down.

Here's my config: http://pastebin.com/d691f629a


Suggestions?

Thanks!
-Tim

You may be encountering a connection limit imposed by the OS.
We have this in our startup script (/etc/init.d/pound, not /etc/pound.cfg)

MAXFDS=10000
ulimit -n $MAXFDS
