    Pound (http://www.apsis.ch/pound) is a http reverse proxy and
    load balancer. While I was playing with it, I ran into a weird thing.

    After pound forwards a connection to a backend, something like this occurs
    (truss output):

    connect(0x3,{ AF_INET 182.5.5.8:49087 },16) ERR#36 'Operation now in
    progress'

    Where does 182.5.5.8 come from? No one has ever made any connection
    (according to tcpdump) from this address. I installed pound on the
    second server and its behaviour is just the same. It happened to me only
    on FreeBSD. Tested with different FreeBSD installations.

    AOLserver with nsvhr module does very similiar thing, so I assume it's not
    pound specific and maybe a FreeBSD bug.

    What's going on?
