Hi, Is your back end IP and socket allowed in the pound jail? If you disable all of the outbound connections in the pound jail, then it won't be able to connect to the back end.
http://www.section6.net/wiki/index.php/Creating_a_FreeBSD_Jail Like Kiriki mentions, go a wget on your back end, but do it from the pound jail. - Jake > -----Original Message----- > From: Human Servers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2008 6:34 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [Pound Mailing List] URGENT HELP NEEDED > > > Hi, > I posted here back in June but didn't get a reply... and I still have > the > same issue. > Fortunately, we had to do a large hardware migration after I posted for > help with Pound, so it transpired that these servers weren't needing to > be > online. > But now migration is done - it is URGENT that I get Pound going again > and > web servers live. > PLEASE HELP > Here is link to my original mail: > http://www.apsis.ch/pound/pound_list/archive/2008/2008- > 06/1214199931000#1214199931000 > I apologise for the length - but I hope providing clear structured > information saves everyone asking the obvious questions. > If I have missed anything - please don't hesistate to ask. > Many thanks if someone, ANYONE, offers assistance. > My original mail follows: > ---------- > First, thanks for great software (and service) - it worked for > me until I broke it! =) > I'll get directly to my reason for emailing: > Issue > ------- > When trying to resolve my URL, I get: > The service is not available.
