Hi! I've used varnish a lot. (I also wrote the advent article) and the followup:
http://www.catalystframework.org/calendar/2008/17 It is very nice, much better than the alternatives (squid, etc.) It takes a little getting used to, but it gives you incredible control over how you handle requests. One thing I will say is always specify your storage methods. By default it will grab like half of the available memory (or something like that) and it's rare that you need that. Also be wary of the cookie handling. You need to add cache control to your application in the right way or you will serve generic content when you shouldn't and custom (per user) content when you want generic. See this: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/wiki/adventcalendararticles/2007/11-Making_your_Catalyst_App_Cache-friendly for some advice there. Good luck!
