Hey,

Do you think it's a good idea to add Varnish to Nginx to serve static files?

I'm running a dedicated server with 2GB RAM and a pentium dual core E2180 for static files.

I'm only using Nginx 0.6.32 on Centos 5/linux 2.6.24: no database, no php, no gzip mod...

Nginx sends 60 images/seconde (max 100 images/sec) among 3.200.000 jpeg images (one image = 5-10kB).

Thanks in advance!

My Nginx file :

-------------------------------------------------- user nginx nginx; worker_processes 4;

events { worker_connections 1024; }

http { include mime.types; default_type application/octet-stream;

access_log off;

sendfile on; tcp_nopush on; tcp_nodelay on;

client_body_timeout 5; client_header_timeout 5; keepalive_timeout 5 5; send_timeout 5;

gzip off;

server { listen 80;

root /home/www;

expires 90d;

# CSS & Javascript files configuration location ~* ^.+.(css|js)$ { gzip_static on; gzip_http_version 1.1; gzip_proxied off; gzip_min_length 0; gzip_disable "MSIE [1-6]\."; gzip_vary off; } } }
