 Using.

 {{{
 -s persistent,/dev/shm/varnish-cache-file.shm,1G
 }}}

 Verified cache hit using


 {{{
 sub vcl_deliver {
         if (obj.hits > 0) {
                 set resp.http.X-Cache = "HIT";
         } else {
                 set resp.http.X-Cache = "MISS";
         }
 }
 }}}

 And curl -D ./headers.txt http://domainname.com/page/

 Checking of X-Cache headers, pre and post restart using init.d script
 reveal that a HIT is returned prior to restart, and a MISS is returned
 immediately after.

 Idealy we are trying to avoid the need to isolate and pre-populate a cache
 server in the event of a crash/restart and the -s persistent method seemed
 like the first logical step forward.

 Please advise.
