However, I don't think this solution will work in our usage. We're running a blog. Administrators get un-cached access, straight through varnish. Then, when they publish, we issue a purge across the entire site. We need to do this as there's various bits of navigation that'd need to be updated. I can't see that we can do this if we set obj.ttl.
Has anyone any recommendations as to how best to deal with purges like this? Rob _______________________________________________ varnish-misc mailing list [email protected] http://projects.linpro.no/mailman/listinfo/varnish-misc
