this, im going to rubbish this maillist.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I would like to thank everybody who is involved
in the development of varnish.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>It’s a super product and its
performance is outstanding (especially if your used to squid).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>First time we struggled some bid with the
config, but it sure is flexible and highly customizable.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>We are currently doing a 5000 connections
per second on a regular day (regular static images), and 500 connections per
second for big photo’s (1280x1024). Both servers are in a seperate server
daemon on the same physical host.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Before this setup we used 2 physical
lighthttpd servers to serve all the images, but on the most busiest hours it
was a bit laggy and load times varied from 200ms to 5s a images. Most likely
this is due the fact there are some problems about threading in lighthttpd (it
only uses 1 thread).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>With our new varnish setup we have 2
physical servers serving cache miss images and a varnish server who caches it.
We choose for 2 backend servers for the redundancy we could let 1 server serve
all images. In the near future we will go to more varnish servers to add redundancy
and maybe we are going to make a CDN with it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
