Hi there
Hi

I am interested in using pound. I read the published information on your website but I still have 3 questions (the whole topic is new to me!).

I made a drawing illustrating my situation.

 1. It would be nice if, for a same client, both client
    application components (html5 web application & javascript
    webservice interface) could be routed to the same destination
    virtual machine. Is this doable using the pound "session" tracking
    mechanism?

Yes, there are several means, at least one of them should be shared by both parts (html5 web application & javascript webservice):
 - a  session cookie like PHPSESSID, JSESSID, ASPNETSESSIONID
 - the client IP
 - an URL param...
an always both parts should be routed through the same "Service" definition in pound

 1. If I understood well pound would be "terminating" the SSL
    connection. In my case would I need 1 certificate or 2 (per client
    there would be 2 tunnels established, one on port 80 and one on
    port 99)!?

You can use the same certificate twice, in both services.

 1. Somewhere it is stated "/... Pound //can detects when a backend
    server fails or recovers, and bases its load balancing decisions
    on this information: if a backend server fails, it will not
    receive requests until it recovers.../". How does this detection
    mechanism work? Is this sothing like a ping?

Pound makes a simple TCP connection to the server port, if it fails the service is down, if it success the service is up.

Many thanks in advance.
I hope this can be of some help.
