Re: [Pound Mailing List] Questions

Hi Peter

You may wish to consider a Pound - Varnish - web server chain. One option
is to direct all Pound traffic to Varnish and let Varnish route traffic to
backends.

Varnish gives much flexibility for URL rewriting / backed redirection. And
with a little caching, faster page loads too. :-)

Cheers,

Matthew
