I could see Varnish getting added alongside Nginx if/as we reduce/remove more coverage of Apache. I'm sure that the more progressive members of this list would welcome that change. BTW, I love this quote about Nginx on http://www.wikivs.com/wiki/Apache_vs_nginx: Apache is like Microsoft Word, it has a million options but you only need six. Nginx does those six things, and it does five of them 50 times faster than Apache. — Chris Lea on nginx and Wordpress Regards, -- G.
