Hi All,

I think it was due to the nature of the website, (i.e. cookies + json updates) were playing role not to cache.
I did some changes and it started working (for forced cache rule.)

e.g. sub vcl_recv  -> added some lookup for certain conditions.
 and sub vcl_fetch -> added set beresp.ttl

But going into another type of trouble: i occasionally get 503 thrown without any reason. I have 2 server, i intentionally turned one off, health checkup shows its sick (great), and sends request to alive one, but 1 out of 20 times it throws 503.

_[I have added ulimit -n 10000 and restart for 4 times in 503, however is there any particular reason behind this behaviour?]

Hi , I am quite new on varnish, so far its been really impressive doing test and quite everything that i wanted to achieve with it, I did some test with single server, and everything looked good, interms of cache hit ratio and all. but now i am unable to see anything as such as cache at all.

Could anyone please show me pointer what in my rule is causing not to cache?

( Things not working so far)
# Cache as wished: /json/showcase 1s , robot.txt 4 days, CSS/JPG/JS/ 3600s
