Configuring varnish amd64 pfsense 2.0

[Guest]

So I want to get Varnish working on pfsense 2.0.

I installed the package, and on backends I see nothign is there, if I add something it asks me for:

Do I actually need to put in anything? Because I have no idea what to put in for most of these settings.

And to check if Varnish is working on the VarnishSTAT page, which i don't think it is, it just posts

VarnishSTAT Server logs as of Mon Dec 20 3:27:50 PST 2010

Here is the default configuration, is it already setup for me?

# Varnish configuration file
# Automatically generated by the pfSense package system

# This file is located in /var/etc/default.vcl

sub vcl_error {
	set obj.http.Content-Type = "text/html; charset=utf-8";
synthetic {"

sub vcl_recv {

	# If the client sent an X-Forwarded-For header, remove it. 
	# It cannot betrusted.
	unset req.http.X-Forwarded-For;
	# Note that we don't need to add the client ip to the X-Forwarded-For 
	# header, varnish will do that for us
	if (req.http.Accept-Encoding) {
		# Handle compression correctly. Varnish treats headers literally
		# not semantically. So it is very well possible that there are
		# cache misses because the headers sent by different browsers
		# aren't the same.
		# @see: http:// varnish.projects.linpro.no/wiki/FAQ/Compression
		if (req.http.Accept-Encoding ~ "gzip") {
			# if the browser supports it, we'll use gzip
			set req.http.Accept-Encoding = "gzip";
		} elsif (req.http.Accept-Encoding ~ "deflate") {
			# next, try deflate if it is supported
			set req.http.Accept-Encoding = "deflate";
		} else {
			# unknown algorithm. Probably junk, remove it
			unset req.http.Accept-Encoding;
		}
	}

	if (req.request != "GET" && req.request != "HEAD") {
		return(pipe);
	}
	return(lookup);
}

sub vcl_pipe {

	# If we don't set the Connection: close header, any following
	# requests from the client will also be piped through and
	# left untouched by varnish. We don't want that.
	set req.http.connection = "close";
	# Note: no "pipe" action here - we'll fall back to the default
	# pipe method so that when any changes are made there, we
	# still inherit them.

}

Sorry I know nothing about Varnish.
