Hi, we're reconsidering using Varnish again, and this question I posted 4 months ago is the biggest blocker for us. We've been using Squid for a while, but it doesn't have collapsed forwarding, which we need (and Varnish provides). But we also need a persistent cache. We're ready to roll our own caching proxy, but if Varnish already provides persistence, then that would be a huge boon. We tried playing around with Varnish -s persistent 4 months ago but it didn't seem to be what the name implied.
