And of course, I just figured it out after posting. Sorry for the
noise !<br>

The problem was DNS resolution, curl does a new DNS query each time
and it looks like the resolver for this server takes 5 seconds to
answer, sometimes. Nothing to do with varnish, my bad<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi,
I've posted on serverfault and on IRC, but since this is a bit (or very)
urgent, I'll try it here too.
I have a strange problem with varnish, it's in front of an API and it's
caching the whole responses. It mostly works fine, but from time to time
a request will take 5 seconds (or rarely 10 seconds, or 15 seconds ..
always an increment of 5) more than usual to return.
I've tried bypassing the HAProxy in front, same, and I checked, it does
that whether the URL is already cached or not (I've checked the Age
header). So it can't be the backend since the page is in cache, it's not
what's in front of varnish, that leaves only varnish itself as the cause
of that problem.
Any idea as to what could cause that 5 seconds delay ? I've checked
varnishlog, during that delay varnish isn't doing anything. I've also
tried manually making another request during that delay, and varnish
answered fine so it's not frozen or anything, it works fine. And at the
end of that 5 seconds, it's outputting the log for the request as usual,
nothing weird in it. Example :
* << Request >> 132712
* Begin req 132711 rxreq
* Timestamp Start: 1499701302.309413 0.000000 0.000000

I realize varnish believes that was treated quickly, but on curl's side
it took 5 seconds. Curl is used directly on the varnish server, so it's
not network latency. It's a bit hard to reproduce, I'm using a script
that does queries in a loop and shows the curl time_total to finally get
it to happen.
Could it be something Linux side ? Maybe some kind of limit, or a socket
cleanup job or something that would pause the request. It happens maybe
once every 400 or 500 requests, sometimes more, sometimes less.
Attached is the varnishstat -1 asked on the mailing list page.
