I read the thread and it doesn't answer my question.... Or is the lack of an answer the answer.
You just can't reload pound configs dynamically to add in a new backend server. Which makes pound pretty useless for an application that needs to be up all the time. I can't take the time to restart pound when all I want to do is add in a new back end server. Restarting pound means everyone gets dropped and has to log back end. Because we require the session affinity that pound offers (Type=Header, ID=Host) and restarting pound breaks that. -b On Mon, Jun 17, 2013 at 12:19 PM, Alan McGinlay <[email protected]> wrote: > This previous thread from 2007 touches on the subject with some good > advice: > > http://www.apsis.ch/pound/**pound_list/archive/2007/2007-** > 09/1189689850000<http://www.apsis.ch/pound/pound_list/archive/2007/2007-09/1189689850000> > > Kristine, you mean like in most init scripts?
