I am looking to limit users to the website once we hit capacity. Any new user
will be directed to a “busy page” whilst existing
users can continue on the site.
How can this be achieved via varnish ?
Any suggestions/solutions will be much appreciated.
Give everybody a short-lived cookie. If they have the cookie then serve
them pages as normal.
"New" users won't have the cookie, so make the use a different backend and
make that backend "fail first" with a pretty error page.
