I am interested in using pound. I read the published information on your website but I still have 3 questions (the whole topic is new to me!).
I made a drawing illustrating my situation.
- It would be nice if, for a same client, both client application components (html5 web application & javascript webservice interface) could be routed to the same destination virtual machine. Is this doable using the pound "session" tracking mechanism?
- If I understood well pound would be "terminating" the SSL connection. In my case would I need 1 certificate or 2 (per client there would be 2 tunnels established, one on port 80 and one on port 99)!?
- Somewhere it is stated "... Pound can detects when a backend server fails or recovers, and bases its load balancing decisions on this information: if a backend server fails, it will not receive requests until it recovers...". How does this detection mechanism work? Is this sothing like a ping?
Many thanks in advance.
