>From my most brief perusal, this looks like it would work just as well
for Webware as Zope (or for anything, really). The SSL decoding is an
interesting feature.

For a long time I have been bothered by a few problems concerning the
infrastructure around Zope:
- load balancing: Zope/ZEO is a great combination, but load balancing between
several servers on a heavily-loaded site is expensive (read: commercial,
hardware-based boxes) or problematic (round-robin DNS may not be available
to everybody and keeping sessions is iffy).
- SSL: m2crypto is a nice package but I had a few problems with it. Apache
mod_ssl/mod_proxy is great, but a bit overkill from my point of view.
As a result I wrote Pound: it is a load balancer (it will distribute the load
between several back-end servers, while keeping track of sessions) and an SSL
wrapper (it accepts HTTPS requests, decrypts them and passes them as plain
HTTP).
For further information, download, etc. please see http://www.apsis.ch/pound
The software is at version 0.1 - alpha quality. It works for me... Further
testing (especially under heavy loads), improvements and bug (what bugs ?)
fixes are welcome.
Pound is distributed under the GPL.
Enjoy and let me know how it works for you.
