We run nginx to accept both SSL and non-SSL requests. This allows me to have some logic to block certain requests at the nginx level and also for nginx to return a customized error page if varnishd is not running. Nginx on passes all remaining traffic to varnishd which sits in front of multiple web servers.

We've been happily using Varnish in production for just over a year, and now want to use it for an SSL site so that we can use ESI, load balancing and other such facilities offered by Varnish. I've searched over the Varnish website, and can't see any examples of a recommended SSL configuration. http://plone.org/documentation/kb/plone-behind-varnish-using-pound-for-s sl provides some documentation, but I suspect there are other options. I'll happily consolidate the answers into a coherent document for the website so that others can benefit in future.
