Comments on: Seeya Varnish, nice known’ you http://letsgetdugg.com/2009/05/24/seeya-varnish-nice-known-you/ Random tech jargon Mon, 06 Sep 2010 09:29:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Kristian http://letsgetdugg.com/2009/05/24/seeya-varnish-nice-known-you/comment-page-1/#comment-64 Kristian Tue, 26 May 2009 08:37:05 +0000 http://letsgetdugg.com/?p=239#comment-64 I'm sorry that Varnish didn't work out for you. We (Redpill Linpro) really do believe Varnish is a great cache, but acknowledge that there are still issues to be worked out on Solaris. The truth is that Varnish is developed mainly for GNU/Linux and FreeBSD. We receive patches for Solaris and Mac OS X, but our quality control is focused around what our customers use, and that's GNU/Linux and FreeBSD at the moment. The issues you described are issues we are semi-aware of when it comes to Solaris, and we hope to get the time needed to improve Varnish' stability on Solaris. I hope your squid rig works out for you, and hope you'll give Varnish a try at a later date when we've had a chance to solve these issues. (Or you could always sponsor the development, and it'll happen a lot faster). I’m sorry that Varnish didn’t work out for you.
