[BlueOnyx:12010] Re: Varnish Cache

[Frank Soyer]

Hi list,
I come back to this subject after a customer of mine ask me to implement 
Varnish for an e-business site.
I know all what was said here about optimizing code, and so on, but 
admit that providing a cache for almost static parts of sites can 
increase the performances.
APC or Eaccelerator do that easily on Blueonyx but Varnish, in opinion 
of a lot of ebusiness developers, is the best cache system for this kind 
of sites.
And, last but not least, as Michael said : Varnish can have other 
usages, load balancing, TTLs...

What I don't understand, that's if it is complicated to consider this 
tool in Blueonyx. In fact, in its simpliest usage (caching sites), the 
only thing to do is to put Apache on another port, and Varnish listening 
to port 80.
Is there terribly difficult to enhanced the GUI to permit default port 
modification from 80 to, e.g. 8080 ? In a first time this may be done 
perhaps even in a conf file, not GUI.

Does it involves only to put "8080" instead of "80" in the siteX files, 
or very much more ?

Thanks.
Frank
