1 Can pound fill this need ?
Yup!
2 Is it a huge task to attempt for a relative noobe
Nope. This is a pretty straightforward setup. Normally I don't advise people doing things above their pay grade especially if the consequences are that your customers sites are busted and they are going to get pissed, but it sounds like you don't really have that freedom.
3 Can anybody suggest an approach to take.
Sounds like you've got an outline of how to do it already. Personally I would put your pound server in the new datacenter, test it, and then update your client's DNS to point to the pound server ahead of the larger move.
But that's just me. You could set it up in the old datacenter and handle the IP-level migration later on when you're better established in the new datacenter. No real difference at the end of the day.
