<br>
About the 5 backends limit, you might be interested by this link:<br>
<a href="https://www.varnish-cache.org/docs/trunk/phk/backends.html" target="_blank">https://www.varnish-cache.org/docs/trunk/phk/backends.html</a><br>
<br>
PHK basically states that 1000 backends is not an unreasonable number.<br>
<br>
I assume that backends are limited according to available resources<br>
and other factors that can't be established without proper<br>
measurements.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
