I've never heard of that http/https switching method. I'd think larger websites would benefit from it, but does varnish cache frequently enough to not hinder lurkers?

It's actually something I picked up from the reddit devs. We only cache pages for 1 minute, so it really just helps ward off huge spikes in external traffic (which we get from time to time) but for some reason it held onto this one record for two and a half days.
