now I just had to learn the hard way... 1. if I stop and start the child via the management port, the cache is empty afterwards I did this, because I couldn't manage to change the config, at least to me it looked that way: vcl.list 200 52 0 boot 44085 default * 7735 default2 vcl.discard default 106 37 No configuration named default known. 200 0 vcl.list 200 52 0 boot 44085 default * 7750 default2 vcl.show default 106 37 No configuration named default known. 2. but even worse, I've just seen that a new child was born somehow, which also emptied the cache is this some regular behaviour, or was there a crash? All this with 1.1.2. It's vital to my setup to cache as many objects as possible, for a long time, and that they really stay in the cache. Is there anything I could do to prevent the cache being emptied? May be I've been bitten by a bug and should give the trunk a shot? BTW, after starting to play around with varnish, I'm really impressed, it's a bit frustrating sometimes to understand everything, but the outcome is very impreesing. Thanks for such a nice piece of software!
