Hi
I am a relative new user of Linux and I am trying to teach myself as I go. Where I work, we are a windows house but I have a problem where I think Linux and "pound" can help but I need some guidance as I could be wrong. We have a number of windows web servers in a data centre that we have to move to another data centre, this will mean the IP address will have to change, as different providers own the two centres. We are a software solutions company, we write and run a web-based application that our clients access on the web servers that we host and maintain. Because many of our clients are not IT strong, we cannot afford to allow this change of IP to cause them to lose their application. The application is a recruiting system that a client can use to handle all their job advertisement, applications etc. We wish to run a proxy server to perform a man-in-the-middle role and take requests in to the old IP addresses, and pass them across to the new IP addresses in the new data centre. The application requires http access from the public who are looking for and applying for jobs, and https access from the company to manage the system. There are multiple sites on a given server so they all use a single IP and virtual hosting on the windows box to access the site that they use. I can jiggle firewall rules to direct traffic etc to the Pound server, all the servers are on internal 10.x.x.x networks and I have a test server in the new data centre with some external IP's set up with holding pages to do some testing. My questions are 1 Can pound fill this need ? 2 Is it a huge task to attempt for a relative noobe 3 Can anybody suggest an approach to take. 4 As ever Time is a bit tight we are planning to move these systems next week so I need a yes you can do this or No it will never work quite quickly.
