Description of (some of) the patches ************************************ patch-pound-1.9.4-AliveUri.diff.gz Adds http based health checking of servers using a globally defined URI. When enabled this will try to fetch the specified page at Alive interval using the GET method. If the page cannot be fetched then the backend will be marked as dead, and will receive no traffic. patch-pound-1.9.5-logpid.diff.gz Logs the PID of the pound process and the config file used. In some configurations a new monitor process with less privileges than the original might be forked off. If so it is still the pid of the original monitor process that is logged. OBSOLETED BY patch-pound-1.10-logid.diff.gz patch-pound-1.10-logpid.diff.gz Logs the PID of the pound process and the config file used. In some configurations a new monitor process with less privileges than the original might be forked off. If so it is still the pid of the original monitor process that is logged. OBSOLETED BY patch-pound-1.10-logid.diff.gz patch-pound-1.9.5-no_conn_self.diff.gz For some historic compatibility reason pound tries to connect to itself before binding to the listening ports. Since this breaks redundant setups this patch removes this test. 2006.05.11, Rune Sætre
