Varnish interview

[Caunter, Stefan]

It is an interesting blog post, but it incorrectly implies that varnish
cache timing is controlled by the Cache-control header; client browser
behaviour is controlled by this header, not varnish. 

The time to live for objects is set in fetch, with additional timing
settings accessible using grace.

Subject: NYT: Varnish interview

Jacob Harris from the New York times is interviewed here. About 80% of
the 
interview is about how they use varnish:

pages.
