Reverse Proxies - pound and Nginx
As this new blog was being setup, the need for a reverse proxy to support failover, SSL, compression, re-write, clustering, fast static serving and finally, load balancing. Pound and Nginx appear to be the easiest of these that aren’t apache. Apache is now the kitchen sink.
Pound is used by Slashdot and others, so it scales. Pound is perl and I’ve been using it for years on this site.
Nginx is used by youtube and others, so it scales. It is Russian and I’ve never used it before. The configuration seems simple – it supports virtual hosts, which is nice.
