Pound POC

This proof of concept validates that the linux proxy Pound is able to route http requests to different back ends depending on the requested resource. The application starts up 2 node services and one proxy whose configuration can be found in the pound.cfg file.

Run

1. Install docker and docker-compose
2. run docker-compose build
3. run docker-compose up to spin up pound and 2 http servers

Testing

Having the services up and running, open a new terminal and perform a request to:

curl http://localhost

The response should be served from the host: 10.5.0.5:8080

Make another request to the /tid resource which is handled by another http server.

curl http://localhost/tid

Verify the response is served from a different IP address.
