We have 3 servers. A bit overkill, but then we have redundancy even if one fail. I guess 2 is the minimum option if you have an important site and 99,5% uptime guarantee. > (2) How do people avoid single-point-of-failure for Varnish?

It's no exactly free, but there are free alternatives that will probably do much of the basic stuff: http://lcic.org/load_balancing.html - Bendik _______________________________________________ varnish-misc mailing list [email protected] http://projects.linpro.no/mailman/listinfo/varnish-misc
