Few questions regarding varnish with FreeBSD

[Nicole H.]

 Hello, I have a few questions about using varnish on FreeBSD

1) Is it better to use malloc or to create a memory disk?


2) Any idea why a FreeBSD server running varnish takes forever to shutdown
or restart if rebooted?
 When performing say a shutdown -r now / -h now  The system will stay at
"All Buffers Synced"  once I let it run and it took an hour to finally
reach Uptime: TIME / The operating system has halted.(for -h)


3)  I have a cache server with 3 disks 135 gigs ea and 4 Gigs ram. The
disks are only 8G full ea.
 Why would my n_lru_nuked (381451 ) be so high?

 I understand this to be "The number of objects varnish has had to evict
from cache before they expired to make room for other content"   Why would
this happen when I still have so much room?



 Thanks for any help

 Thanks

  Nicole
