Setting up Varnish > Download varnish daemon debian: apt-get install varnish redhat:yum install varnish > Re-configure Apache to listen on port 8080 (or other non-standard port) > Configure Varnish to listen on port 80 > Configure Varnish VCL to connect to Apache > VCL tweaks (default does not cache Drupal)
