Looks like it's this or apache 2.x

For future reference, neither Varnish, nor Lighttpd/modcache/modproxy
can act as an http accelerator in any way approaching sensible.

All I need is to cache urls like /foo/bar/xxx.html and
/foo/search?adasasd, etc for 20 minutes or so, without caching 500 or
404 statuses or ignoring the query string.

*sigh*

Cute. Might be useful later, now if it has a module for mogilefs that
would be nice.
