shad.cc

That's it! This whole blog is cached and directly delivered by CirruxCache (only static files were cached before). My origin server is a tiny eeebox connected through my personal ISP.

So this configuration is a good challenge to offload my tiny web server as much as possible.

I think this is a good opportunity to show an example of a configuration which is a little bit more evolved.

The point is, I cannot set the same cache TTL for the whole website, and actually, I want to cache several websites...

I think this configuration is enough readable to avoid any explanation. However, do not hesitate to leave any comments.

Finally, I created a google groups to centralize all help requests. So if you need help, go to http://groups.google.com/group/cirr... or send an email to cirruxcache 'at' googlegroups 'dot' com.
