| Install {{Package|www-servers/varnish}}:

| |
|
| |
| ==Configuration==
| |
|
| |
| {{note|as your varnish is local to your server, your server needs to be aware that it is behind a proxy, and configured for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Forwarded-For x-forwarded-for] or similar to fetch real users ip addresses instead of displaying 127.0.0.1 or localhost.}}
| |
|
| |
| Configuration is controlled by /etc/varnish/default.vcl & /etc/conf.d/varnishd

| For 10,000 concurrent connections (or not) a few configuration settings control the power of varnish. If you're having varnish directly serve to the outside world, dial back concurrency to say 50 or 100 connections per ip. You must take into account corporations, and universities hammering several connections from a singular ip. c10k is useful information for if varnish is behind a load balancer such as pound, nginx, or tengine, and all requests are internal and local.

| == BootService ==
| |
|
| |
| To start varnish immediately:
| |
| <console>###i## rc-service varnishd start</console>
| |
|
| |
| To start varnish at boot:
| |
| <console>###i## rc-update add varnishd default</console>
| |
|
| |
| == Verification ==
| |
| To verify that your traffic is going through varnish, and see if you're getting hits or misses:
| |
| <console>$##i## curl -I http://www.funtoo.org/Welcome</console>
| |
|
| |
| == Benchmarking ==
| |
| {{package|app-admin/apache-tools}} apache benchmark can show the power of varnish. The examples shown are running 500 requests with concurrency of 100 hits.

|
| == SSL support ==
| |
| Varnish does not support ssl. There are packages to get around this limitation:
| |
| * {{package|net-misc/stunnel}}
| |
| * {{package|www-servers/pound}}
