Varnish HTTP Accelerator Integration
joshk - August 7, 2009 - 21:36
This module provides integration between your Drupal site and the Varnish HTTP Accelerator, an advanced and very fast reverse-proxy system. Basically, Varnish handles serving static files and anonymous page-views for your site much faster than Apache.
This module provides admin-socket integration which allows Drupal to dynamically invalidate cache entries, and also lets you query the Varnish admin interface for status, etc.
COMPATIBILITY NOTE: At the moment, using Varnish at all requires Drupal 7, PressFlow, or the application of a patch for compatible http headers.
