ok, I'm getting a bit futher, without claiming that I understand it 
fully. I just took the example of the wiki


backend default {
    set backend.host = "192.168.1.2";
    set backend.port = "http";
}

sub vcl_recv {
  if (req.request == "GET" && req.url ~ "\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png)$") {
    lookup;
  }

  if (req.request == "HEAD" && req.url ~ "\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png)$") {
    lookup;
  }
}

and now I'm seeing as many misses as backend request. I guess now it's 
really caching most of what I want.

now, could someone help me interpreting the hitrate ratio and avg?

Hitrate ratio:       10      100      360
Hitrate avg:     0.3366   0.3837   0.4636


Thanks, Sascha (very impressed so far :-))
