[pfSense Support] varnish proxy in pfsense?

2009-11-11 Thread Paul Mansfield
I'd be very interested if there was a project to add varnish reverse 
proxy to pfsense. It claims to be both linux and freebsd compatible.


http://varnish.projects.linpro.no/

One could of course hack it in manually but having it as even the 
simplest package would be nice.

Two problems with that (I am a varnish user @ work).

1.  It requires a 64 bit OS (pfSense is 32 bit currently)
2.  It requires a compiler (CC, Make, etc).

The compiler bit could be handled with FreeBSD ports but the 64 bit
part is a sticking point ATM.

But I agree, varnish is the goods and it would be nice to see it in
packages one day.

varnish also works in 32bit FreeBSD.
At least for test-purposes, it did for me.
You have to limit the amount of RAM it grabs, though, or it will crash
immediately.

Even with enough memory it can cause a deadlock on FreeBSD... been
there, done that.. Not fun.
