Sorry for delayed response, there are holydays here.
Fastproxy has two mandatory arguments:
--ingoing-http - tcp endpoint to listen for incoming connections
--ingoing-stat - unix socket endpoint to listen for internal statistics requests
For example, you can launch fastproxy using this command line:
$ fastproxy --ingoing-http=0.0.0.0:8888 --ingoing-stat=/tmp/fastproxy
Sorry for lack of documentation and non-user-friendly interface, this daemon has been designed for internal use and you are probably the first men who actually tried to build and run it except me =)
I'm currently using it in couple with haproxy (http load-balancer) as a http forward-proxy server to workaround a lack of name resolving functionality in the haproxy.
Such configuration provides about 1Gbit per second throughput and 8K request per second on the 2xE5645 server with half-loaded CPUs (NIC limitation).
