Hi all,

First post to the list, Pounder newcomer here!

I have a Pound proxy providing SSL off-load for HAProxy (they are
installed on the same server, Pound passes request onto HAproxy over
the 127.0.0.1 loop-back address). I have some HTTP servers all hosting
the same sites behind this load-balancer. I would like for a couple of
them to use SSL. The only way I could see to have more than one SSL
site behind this Pound box was to assign multiple IPs to the box and
set up a different HTTPS listening on each IP, but this isn't very
scalable or IP conservative.

Then. I saw the following text on the Pound website:

Update June 2010: starting with with the 2.6 series, Pound has SNI
support, if your OpenSSL version supports it. Basically you supply
Pound with several certificates, one for each virtual host (wild card
certificates - as described above - are allowed). On connecting the
client signals to which server it wants to talk, and Pound searches
among its certificates which would fit. Not all versions of OpenSSL
and not all clients support this mode, but if available it allows for
virtual hosts over HTTPS.

Can anyone provide me with a configuration example of how I can
achieve this, or the correct direction to be looking in?

Many thanks,
James.
