Hi.. guys ,

In my varnish code im using  "return (lookup)" ,


sub vcl_recv {

if (req.http.host ~ "^a.content.org$") {
        set req.backend = bkcacheorg;
        return (lookup);
}

}



Please correct me if im wrong ..in varnish doc says   *return (lookup)
means *  "Varnish to deliver content from cache even if the request
othervise indicates that the request should be passed."

i just want to know im using "return (lookup)"  , if the content does not
found in varnish cache , its it going to talk to  backend and get the
correct content...

Thank you
