I just got through working at Yahoo and they have valid reasons to want all these behaviors. The thing I didn't like about the cache channel implementation is it involves squid polling an RSS feed every few seconds to determine which bits of the cache to invalidate. I'm looking at launching a small site for a client and the stale-while-revalidate/stale-on-error functionality is fairly critical. I want to go with varnish, though. Front end cache server in India, pulling content from the USA... lots of potential for slow/dead connections back to the origin, so it would be great if Varnish would serve stale content in this eventuality. -jsd- _______________________________________________ varnish-misc mailing list [email protected] http://projects.linpro.no/mailman/listinfo/varnish-misc
