varnish server-side caching

[Per Buer]

Hi Owais,

I would recommend that you read through these:

https://www.varnish-cache.org/docs/3.0/tutorial/increasing_your_hitrate.html

https://www.varnish-cache.org/docs/3.0/tutorial/cookies.html
https://www.varnish-cache.org/docs/3.0/tutorial/vary.html

I'm guessing you have a Vary: Cookie coming from the backend.

Per.
