Hi all!
Was pointed toward pound by a friend when I asked him about his thoughts
on using apache to redirect traffic based on host header. I want to have
several web servers as virtual machines but only have one external IP.
Currently I simply use one server with virtual host headers and apache.
For various reasons I want to split the traffic for 2 sites to their own
dedicated virtual servers. I was thinking of using apache on a separate
virtual server with mod proxy to achieve this.
So I found out about pound and said this seems like a good idea, setup a
small virtual server with only pound installed to handle all the web
requests and I can use different ports for ssh to remote control each
machine since that isnt as odious as having web users specify a port.
One line in the pound info concerned me though.....
"Some people asked about the possibility of redirecting requests to
back-ends as per some virtual hosts definition. While I believe this is
not /Pound/'s job, it can be done."
Is pound not the best solution for this? Is there something better?
Thanks to anyone who would like to answer my question =)
Michael
