[Pound Mailing List] pound won't start on centos 7

Hi all,

I'm trying to get pound working for the first time in years under a CentOS
7 host. And for some reason, it's not coming together for me this time.

I tried this config on my latest attempt:

ListenHTTP
    Address 10.10.10.25
    Port 80
End

ListenHTTPS
    Address  10.10.10.25
    Port    443
    Cert    "/etc/pki/tls/private/lb1.example.com.pem"
End

Service
    BackEnd
        Address 10.10.10.26
        Port    80
    End

    BackEnd
        Address 10.10.10.27
        Port    80
    End
End


And all I'm seeing in the logs is this:

Aug 24 03:17:15 lb1 pound: starting...
Aug 24 03:17:15 lb1 pound: get_host(10.10.10.25, res, 0)
Aug 24 03:17:15 lb1 pound: getaddrinfo OK

Aug 24 03:17:15 lb1 pound: getaddrinfo OK
Aug 24 03:17:15 lb1 pound: ret OK
Aug 24 03:17:15 lb1 pound: done
Aug 24 03:17:15 lb1 systemd: PID file /var/run/pound.pid not readable
(yet?) after start.
Aug 24 03:18:45 lb1 systemd: pound.service operation timed out. Terminating.
Aug 24 03:18:45 lb1 systemd: Unit pound.service entered failed state.

And pound will refuse to start. I'm completely at a loss as to why this is
happening. SELinux has been disabled as part of the testing, but no success
there either.

Thanks for any help you can lend.
