Re: [Pound Mailing List] send source IP of HTTP requests to web servers in the cluster

Hi Pat,

You will need to rebuild your version of pound with the TProxy Patch.

A slightly out dated How To can be found at *
http://blog.loadbalancer.org/transparent-proxy-of-ssl-traffic-using-pound-to-haproxy-backend-patch-and-howto/
* however, the whole principle is still the same.

Also depending on what OS your running on you may need to modify your
Kernel to allow TProxy use but most modern/new Kernels already have this
enabled Centos 6.x does for example.


~Yours,
Scott
