Creating ACLs in Varnish

[Dridi Boukelmoune]

> Is there a better approach to this in Varnish Cache? We’re also going to be evaluating Varnish Enterprise, so if there’s something in VE, that would also be good to know.

Hello,

There are better ways to do this, but not out of the box with Varnish
Cache. You would need something like
https://code.uplex.de/uplex-varnish/varnish-objvar/ to index ACLs by
host names.

With Varnish Enterprise, you can manage this out of the box with the
combination of built-in modules vmod_aclplus and vmod_kvstore.

https://docs.varnish-software.com/varnish-cache-plus/vmods/kvstore/

Feel free to reach out to me directly to discuss the Varnish
Enterprise solution with you.

Best Regards,
Dridi
