Is Apache a bad choice for this? Apache is not necessarily a bad choice. You will need to use ProxyPass or RewriteRule directives. The Apache setup isn't really that much different than the standard Zope/Apache config. Plone.org has plenty of docs on this: http://plone.org/documentation/tutorial/plone-apache http://plone.org/documentation/how-to/plone-with-apache You might also want to look into the CacheFu product: http://plone.org/products/cachefu Ric _______________________________________________ varnish-misc mailing list [email protected] http://projects.linpro.no/mailman/listinfo/varnish-misc
