Hey, thanks for writing me back here.  You are the only guy so far, but
I only answered 3 ads, you don't have much competition in our area! I'm
sure you got a few emails, but I hope you take the time to get to know
me better.  What are you doing this weekend?  Maybe we can get together
for coffee or ice cream?  =3Do)  I bet you are waiting to see my pics? I
will get them to you.  I tried attaching them in this email but they
wouldn't fit so click here
http://XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX I'd rather have
picked out my best pics and emailed them to you, but it's probably
better that you see all these.  I hope I'm not too shocking to you?
There is more about me on my homepage and the pics really make for an
interesting conversation (my specialty).  If you like what you see
I'll be waiting to hear from you,
I hope you approve,
xoxo
Lindsey
PS.  pistachio ice cream is my fav.

>
>- Pound is now declared to be production-quality code

>What is Pound (from the Web page)
>
>- a reverse-proxy: it passes requests from client browsers to one or mor=
e
>back-end servers.
>- a load balancer: it will distribute the requests from the client brows=
ers
>among several back-end servers, while keeping session information.
>- an SSL wrapper: Pound will decrypt HTTPS requests from client browsers
>and
>pass them as plain HTTP to the back-end browsers.
>- an HTTP/HTTPS sanitizer: Pound will verify requests for correctness an=
d
>accept only well-formed ones.
>- an HTTP/1.1 to 1.0 proxy.
>- a fail-over-server: should a back-end server fail, Pound will take not=
e
>of
>the fact and stop passing requests to it until it recovers.
>- a request redirector - it will pass client requests to separate groups=
 of
>servers, based on required URL and the presence or absence of headers
>(pattern matching)
>
>Pound was specifically developed to serve as a front-end for multiple
>instances of Zope running on top of a common ZEO storage, but can be use=
d
>with any other web server. A patch for the Python source of z2.py is
>available as part of the distribution to allow using Pound's SSL
>capabilities.
>
>Pound is currently in use in several medium to large volume sites and se=
ems
>to be holding up quite well: largest reported site does about 3.5 millio=
n
>requests per day, peaking at over 300 requests per second. The speed is
>well
>superior to other, equivalent solutions, the configuration is much simpl=
er
>and the necessary resources (CPU, RAM, disk) are much, much lower.
>
>Pound is distributed under the GPL.

>Enjoy and let me know how it works for you.
