efficient strategy to cache warm multiple varnish servers

[Lukas Kahwe Smith]

Hi,

If we ever have to restart our setup from scratch because of some big crash or because we are rolling out a new version of the site, I am wondering how to most efficiently warm all the varnish servers. Do I just warm one server and then rsync? Searching for "varnish cache warm" and didnt find anything very detailed.

This link seems useful in the general context of cache warming scripts:

This one however seems to sound like I can chain my varnish caches which could be what I need to do:

Any other RTFM links much appreciated :)
