How do you set up Varnish to automatically restart if it dies? We
recently had a crash where the varnish process didn't restart by
itself, so I'm very interested if there's sonething we can do to make
sure it keeps running.

Anyway - I found the final entries in the varnishncsa-log to be kind
of interesting...
