Branch: pkgsrc-2012Q4, Version: 2.6, Package name: pound-2.6, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

The Pound program is a reverse proxy, load balancer and HTTPS front-end
for Web server(s). Pound was developed to enable distributing the
load among several Web-servers and to allow for a convenient SSL wrapper
for those Web servers that do not offer it natively. Pound is a very
small program, easily audited for security problems. It can run as
setuid/setgid and/or in a chroot jail. Pound does not access the
hard-disk at all (except for reading the certificate file on start,
if required) and should thus pose no security threat to any machine.
