Hi,

I'm trying to prevent varnish from deleting its entire cache when full. So I
have added this our VCL confguration:

sub vcl_discard {
# Keep objects in use last 5 minutes
if (obj.lastuse > 300) {
discard;
}

keep;
}

But variable obj.lastuse don't seem to be available and varnish won't start
with this script.

I'm currently working on the prefetch/degraded mode code, and that will
change most if not all of this.

Stay tuned.
