Description :
Varnish is an HTTP accelerator. Often called Reverse Proxy, it is an
application that stores (caches) documents that have been requested
over the HTTP protocol.
Based on certain criteria, the next client requesting the document is either
given the cached document, or a "fresh" document requested from a backend
server. The purpose of this is to minimize the requests going to the backend
server(s) by serving the same document to potentially many users.
