Installation
Create a directory to work in:

Download and unpack the source:

Configure it, then build and install:

Basic Configuration
Create a config file /usr/local/etc/pound.cfg for a basic setup to proxy requests to an internal server:

Automatic Startup
We're going to use daemontools.
If you haven't already, install daemontools.

Create a directory for the Pound service:

Create the run script and make it executable:

Our log script comes from John Simpson:

Finally, add the service to daemontools by creating the symbolic link in /service

Confirm that the service is running:

IP addresses and X-Forwarded-for
When running behind the Pound proxy, the web server will see the proxy's IP address as the source of the traffic. To get the actual IP address, adjust the program's logging to use the X-Forwarded-for.

• Apache - edit /usr/local/apache2/conf/http.conf and add a new log format for Pound:
  
  LogFormat ""%{X-Forwarded-for}i" %l %u %t "%r" %>s %b "%{Referer}i" "%{User-Agent}i" "%{forensic-id}n"" poundcombined

  Then adjust AccessLog directive in your VirtualHost configuration in
  

  /usr/local/apache2/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf<code>:
<code>
CustomLog /var/websites/domain/logs/domain-access_log poundcombined
• Drupal
  Edit your site's settings.php file to enable using the X-Forwarded-for header:
  $conf['reverse_proxy'] = TRUE;
$conf['reverse_proxy_addresses'] = array('1.2.3.4');
