Thanks for the suggestion, but our error page isn't trivial and I don't like the idea of maintaining the site within a varnish configuration file. It actually won't be an extra server, it will just be on a port on the same machine as varnish. But served by a proper http server. -Brad _______________________________________________ varnish-misc mailing list varnish-misc@projects.linpro.no http://projects.linpro.no/mailman/listinfo/varnish-misc
