Hi,
Thanks for the reply. very helpful.

I put Varnish on 80 using:
varnishd -f /etc/varnish/default.vcl -s malloc,1G -T 127.0.0.1:2000 -a
75.149.56.27:80
and I changed httpd.conf to: Listen 127.0.0.1:8080
in /etc/varnish/default.vcl I have:
backend default {
.host = "127.0.0.1";
.port = "8080";
}
Upon doing this and hitting my url: http://6colors.net it seems to be in an
infinite loop, Chrome just seems to loop and loop and loop.

I am confused. Can we use an example? Say I wanted to cache these:
/mediaroom/video/keynotes/WWDC_2010/Apple_Special_Event.mp4
/mediaroom/video/keynotes/WWDC_2010/Apple_Special_Event.ogv
/mediaroom/video/keynotes/WWDC_2009/Apple_Special_Event.mp4
/mediaroom/video/keynotes/WWDC_2009/Apple_Special_Event.ogv
/mediaroom/video/special_events/2010/October/Apple_Special_Event.mp4
/mediaroom/video/special_events/2010/October/Apple_Special_Event.ogv
Thanks for explaining, I appreciate it. Some of these docs seems confusing!
