The TTL defines for how long a session will be kept in the absence of traffic. 24h sounds excessive - 10 minutes is usually more than enough. A "service unavailable" occurs when Pound cannot connect to a back-end. In this case the back-end is declared to be "dead" and all the sessions to it are discarded. If your server was not down you may have had a time-out, so increase that accordingly. -- Robert Segall Apsis GmbH Postfach, Uetikon am See, CH-8707 Tel: +41-44-920 4904 -- To unsubscribe send an email with subject unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] for questions.
