About:
Pound is a reverse HTTP proxy, load balancer, and SSL wrapper. It proxies client HTTPS requests to HTTP backend servers, distributes the requests among several servers while keeping sessions, supports HTTP/1.1 requests even if the backend server(s) are HTTP/1.0, and sanitizes requests.

[»] alternative XLB
by Moritz - Dec 23rd 2006 02:03:01

Hi, sorry for the blatant advertising, but I just finished the first release of XLB, which is only for HTTP but includes a connection management and caching.

See http://xlb.sf.net/.

Thanks for feedback ;)
