serving from cache

[Laurence Rowe]

If you know cookies do not affect the backend, you can just customise
``vcl_recv`` to ``return (lookup)`` when you have a cookie.
http://varnish-cache.org/browser/branches/2.1/varnish-cache/bin/varnishd/default.vcl#L63

If a page always sets the same cookie value, you can cache the
response with the Set-Cookie header (or strip it as you see fit) by
customising ``vcl_fetch`` to ``return (deliver)``. Obviously that's
not suitable for session cookies.
