Varnish is a webcache & http accelerator. Varnish will either serve cached content, or retireve content from the server, and cache it. Varnish will reduce I/O pressure from webservers.

Install

Emerge

Install www-servers/varnish

root #www-servers/varnish

# backend default {
#     .host = "127.0.0.1";
