I expect you already looked into the simple answers (firewall for source addresses, HeadDeny for header-based identification, traffic shaping for many quick requests from the same source address).

Re: [Pound Mailing List] unexpected chunked EOF: Connection timed out

When I use the thttpd back end, there are no errors and everything works as expected. Is there something more I can do to characterize the problem? Ed Thanks for your help Ed. 2.4b had indeed introduced a problem with chunked transfer-encoding. This should be fixed in the just-released 2.4c - give it a try and let me know. It works! I was using version 2.3.2, so it's been broken for a while I guess. I'm an author and I cover pound in my Guide to Apache book: http://apachebook.alcpress.com which is used in college courses. I'm expanding the Pound section in the Second Edition so it's nice that the chunked transfer encoding problem is fixed.

Re: AW: [Pound Mailing List] ANNOUNCE: Pound - reverse proxy and load balancer - v2.4c

An XML interface gives you a web interface. All you need is a style sheet to transform the XML into whatever form you like and a cgi binding or something similar to run poundctl and get the XML.
