Uhm, this is a pretty weird statement if you stop to think about it :-) There is no way you could serve a dynamic file from an accellerator without defining it as 'static' for a minimum short period. The advantage to running varnish in front of static content is that you can avoid loading of your disk system, and, as far as I can tell, concentrate your investment in the bits of hardware you get most benefit from: RAM instead of CPU. Finally, I would advice you guys to seriously look at flash-"disk" drives. The virtual elimination of seektime is just what you want from a web server or cache. I have had the Mtron PRO7000 series recommended, and will be getting one RSN to play with, I'll let you know what I find. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ varnish-misc mailing list [email protected] http://projects.linpro.no/mailman/listinfo/varnish-misc
