Deploying Varnish is like cheating but in a good way. Varnish isn't a set-and-forget cache proxy. It requires a well thought out VCL and a good deal of attention and maintenance. So the saying not all VCLs are created equal applies in this case. I challenged myself to build the most generic VCL in the sense that I want it to work with the majority of "scripts" in a semi "shared" server deployment. I also wanted to make it as easy to deploy as possible while exposing some of its advanced features. The end result is an array of software "plugin" products that one can download and deploy on cPanel and DirectAdmin (two leading control panels). Shameful plug (wait for it...): http://www.unixy.net/advanced-hosting/varnish-nginx-cpanel/ http://www.unixy.net/advanced-hosting/varnish-nginx-cpanel/ http://www.unixy.net/varnish/ http://www.unixy.net/varnish/ There's a free 14-day trial (no payment or CC required) for those who want to give it a spin.
