I think that Pound is more suitable for what you are trying to achieve.
Although I don't know if Pound can handle a 1000 domain/backend
combinations.<br>
No matter what you throw at it, 1000 stays a large number.<br>

Varnish's intended purpose but here is what I am trying to do...<br>
<br>
Instead of using Varnish to cache content for a single site with
several backends, I want to use it to allow me to serve existing sites
on different domains. <br>
<br>
For example I can run varnish on <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://test.com">test.com</a> and serve content from <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://example.com">example.com</a> using
this configuration.<br>
<br>
backend test {<br>
.host = "<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://example.com">example.com</a>";<br>
.port = "80";<br>
}<br>
<br>
sub vcl_recv {<br>
set req.http.host = "<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://example.com">example.com</a>";<br>
set req.backend = test;<br>
return(pass);<br>
}<br>
<br>
But what if I have 1000s of backends and I choose them based on the
domain that user's hit varnish with. Is this something Varnish
handles or is it only intended to work with a handful of backends?<br>
<br>
Also, it would be really cool if I could do something like this.. <br>
sub vcl_recv {<br>
set req.http.host = "<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://example.com">example.com</a>";<br>
set req.backend.host = req.http.host; <br>
return(pass);<br>
}<br>
<br>
I'm guessing backends are defined ahead of time for connection pooling
but maybe not. <br>
<br>
Anyway, this is long enough, tell me if I would be nuts to try to do
this with Varnish and if so what would be better. I'm tempted to
write my own proxy but that seems like such a waste. :-)<br>
