Varnish HTTP Accelerator Integration 6.x-1.0

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 and at higher volumes than Apache, in the neighborhood of 3000 requests per second.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 to any effect at all requires Drupal 7, PressFlow, or the application of a patch for compatible http headers and lazy-session creation.Thanks to Caleb G for the Drupal 5 backport (for Pressflow 5).Helpful information for those new to Varnish: * Gregory Chaix's example VCL * Setting up Varnish and Pressflow Project Mercury Style * Varnish and Drupal on varnish-cache.orgAlso, this module is beginning to implement dynamic cache expiration via the expire module, which will allow for much longer page lifetimes (and thus higher cache hitrates!).
