When I am looking at a smoker's test, there are buttons for 'RAW' and
'BACK'. BACK has reliably taken me to the version matrix, showing me
highest module value for a given perl, and showing me all the tests
run w/latest module on what platform.
Starting a few months back, hitting that BACK button has given me
some variation on the following:

I get the following message:
Error 503 backend read error
backend read error

Varnish cache server
==================================================
What does the above mean? As near as I can tell, varnish
is supposed to be an accelerator of pre-composed, static
content.
I get a very vague impression that it may be nearing its EOL
as other options (involving NGINX/fastcgi cache, et al) are
starting show some improvements. (
https://deliciousbrains.com/page-caching-varnish-vs-nginx-fastcgi-cache/
), but those could be some particular workload on some specific HW.
Meanwhile, I've gone from never having seen the above message several
months ago, to seeing it multiple times per day (or more) depending on
how often I try to look at overall error reports.
Is something wrong/misconfigured with the server that is
using this package, or is the package being updated faster than
the bugs can be ironed out?
Thank for any ideas & or cue-sticks... ;-)
