From the ports description: This is the Varnish high-performance HTTP accelerator. Documentation and additional information about Varnish is available on <URL:http://varnish.projects.linpro.no/>. Technical questions about Varnish and this release should be addressed to <varnish-dev@projects.linpro.no>. Questions about commercial support and services related to Varnish should be addressed to <varnish@linpro.no>. WWW: http://www.varnish-cache.org/ And from wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varnish_cache I've never used it myself, but looks interesting since it's been created by Poul-Henning Kamp which is a major FreeBSD developer.
