##Overview

This module installs and configures the Pound ssl/tls daemon.

Note: As of the 2.0.0 release only puppet 4.7 and above are supported.

##Usage

include ::pound is sufficient to get the server installed.

Now you need to configure a https vip.

pound::https { 'my-virtualnost-name':
  cert    => '/etc/pound/my_ssl_cert.pem',
  ciphers => 'HIGH:!SSLv2:!ADH:!aNULL:!eNULL:!NULL',
}

You will need to supply your own ssl cert in pem format.
