This is quite an old blog post and very lax on any real information. It does not say what the server setup is as in is Pound on its own hardware with HAProxy directing traffic to different backend servers it also does not say what version of Pound is being used or even what the spec of the hardware is.
I've got Pound build on about 5 personal production units and god knows how many customers are using Pound for the SSL Termination and HAProxy to handle the loadbalancing at Layer7 with no problems at all. To be honest I would say that this post is out of date and as long as you are running the latest build on a dedicated 'Load Balancer' your should be fine. ~Scott On 21 June 2013 00:27, Peter Shaw <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > we stumbled over this Article form 2008: > http://blog.emmettshear.com/post/2008/03/03/Dont-use-Pound-for-load-balancing > It says that the CPU Load of pound is a real problem.
