Interesting question. I have myself been looking at Nginx, mainly for its capabilities as a web loadbalancer / front-end. >From what I've read Nginx is not a cahce per se.

It does not (AFAIK) function as a web cache. Varnish is a web cache, and to serve any content at all you need some sort of webserver behind it.
