I'm not sure if this improper usage of Varnish or not, but I'd like to do the following for high availability purposes:
I have a page that's dynamic in nature, but I want to be able to serve a cached copy of it if the backend servers happen to go down. Is it possible to do this while setting the beresp.ttl to 0? This seems to prevent grace mode and works fine if I set it to 1 (as well as if I set the relevant grace mode params), but showing people a cached page for even one second won't work right now because each load should save new data to a database. If the backend servers go down, it's okay if we aren't able to save the data -- we want to at least be able to display a cached copy of the page. That said, perhaps Varnish isn't meant for this -- any suggestions? Thanks! -Victor
