to get the actual use case we had, think of a adservers delivering different ads based on browser, country, connection, and other criteria. Now you start just redirecting users to external partners if you cannot serf a proper ad yourself. You start with some simple rules hardcoded in your caching proxy so that your backend is not bothered to calculate anything. As it works great you start to add additional rules. Then you write a script that ads new rules taken from a database.... Of cause we did not use varnish as a caching proxy anymore, but more as an application server. But especially when it comes to performance varnish does a great job running simple applications. I think the varnish plus package offered from the Varnish guys has features that are not limited to simple caching (like paywalls) Sincerly, Tobias -- LAMP solutions GmbH Gostenhofer Hauptstrasse 35 90443 Nuernberg Amtsgericht Nuernberg: HRB 22366 Geschaeftsfuehrer: Heiko Schubert Es gelten unsere allgemeinen Geschaeftsbedingungen. http://www.lamp-solutions.de/agb/ Telefon : 0911 / 376 516 0 Fax : 0911 / 376 516 11 E-Mail : [email protected] Web : www.lamp-solutions.de Facebook : http://www.facebook.com/LAMPsolutions Twitter : http://twitter.com/#!/lampsolutions _______________________________________________ varnish-misc mailing list [email protected] https://www.varnish-cache.org/lists/mailman/listinfo/varnish-misc
