Pound reverse proxy
InstallationGet it from http://www.apsis.ch/pound or install it from your repository. For my testbox, I installed it from yum then install the latest version from source in /usr/local
./configure --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl \ --with-owner=pound \ --with-group=pound \ --with-maxbuf=1024 \ --sysconfdir=/etc
Edit /etc/pound.cfg
pound.cfg
User "pound"
Group "pound"
Control "/var/lib/pound/pound.cfg"

Then start it using service start. So much easier than squid. A primitive test using ab shows that pound+tomcat http connector performs better than apache+jk+tomcat jk connector by 10% in terms of transfer rate, mean time per request is 14% faster, request per second is also 14% more.
