anyone ever heard of this software?

I've never heard of it. I've used apache as a reverse SSL proxy though, but I don't know if it does load balancing.

The site I need to setup is a credit card system which requires SSL and POSIX data to be maintained (CC transactions) by the server and client. a Round Robbin DNS system won't work because every request it send you to the next server. Pound (in theory) will work great for me as an: A. SSL Decoder and B: load balancer. Just seeing if anyone has ever used it.

How'd you like using apache n0c? was it a static site? did you use it for data caching?

I think it ended up being a coldfusion site. Apache was ok as a reverse proxy, nothing special.
