+Pound is a reverse proxy, load balancer and HTTPS front-end for
+web servers.
+It was developed to enable distributing the load among several
+servers and to allow for a convenient SSL wrapper for those servers
+that do not offer it natively.
+
+Be sure to edit its configuration file /etc/pound.cfg to your liking.
+Detailed documentation about the package is provided both in manpage
+(man pound) and in texinfo (info pound) format.
