varnish as http/failover?

[Jan Garefelt]

Hi!

I've heard good things about varnish as a reverse proxy.

What I'd like to know is whether it is a good idea to use varnish as a
http failover, but I can't seem to find any documentation to determine
whether this is best practise or even possible.

Is varnish a good thing to use as a http/failover, or would you
recommend something else?
