I've been looking at a better proxy solution. I initially pushed

the best approach. So what I'm proposing is this:
httpd(proxy) -> varnish(proxy) -> haproxy(proxy) -> httpd(app)
So a couple of reasons why I'm choosing to do design, especially since, in
theory, varnish can completely replace both httpd and haproxy in that
picture.
I do not have all that much positive experience wrt. Varnish's efficiency.
Have you researched any other alternatives?
I'm reading that the proxy functionality is first and foremost implemented for
caching, and second for l/b?
In other architecture designs (large or heavily loaded rails deployments for
example), the concept of assets is introduced. Would such functionality serve
purpose?
