I have a need to proxy HTTP requests to a particular URL on my site to
an external service. These requests can be large file uploads, and
Pound seems to do a good job with a service definition like the
following:
Service
URL "/assemblies"
BackEnd
Address api2.transloadit.com
Port 80
End
End
The problem is that the vendor, being all modern and cloudy, changes
the IP address of their API endpoint frequently. They have set a
60-second TTL on the A record in DNS, but it seems that Pound does not
honor this: it continues to try to forward requests to the old address
until I restart Pound.
Would you consider this a bug in Pound? Is there a way to make Pound
re-resolve the hostname when its time to live is up?
This is Pound version 2.5.
Thanks,
Vebjorn
