# Summary
# 1. Varnish will poll the backend at /health_check to make sure it is
#    healthy. If the backend goes down, varnish will server stale content
#    from the cache for up to 1 hour.
# 2. Varnish will pass X-Forwarded-For headers through to the backend
# 3. Varnish will remove cookies from urls that match static content file
#    extensions (jpg, gif, ...)

How to stream the London 2012 Olympics

There have been several HOWTOs posted regarding streaming the 2012 Olympics using HTTP / SOCKS proxies via SSH and other similar methods. None of these actually work using the latest Flash on Mountain Lion (with Firefox, Chrome or Safari). Additionally, the third-party streaming sites don't provide BBC's amazing interface, which lets you quickly skip to individual competitors and events. However, setting up an OpenVPN server does work, with some tweaks. You'll get the exact same UX that people in England receive.

• Get a Linode VM in the UK. The 512MB server for $20 works just fine. (If you want to use my referral link, go for it: http://bit.ly/OuzdVe)

• Follow the standard OpenVPN installation documentation. (Basically, 'apt-get install openvpn' or 'yum install openvpn' and then follow these docs: http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/howto.html). For an OS X client, I prefer Viscosity: http://www.thesparklabs

If you want to use multiple dbs at once there are several different ways... 

1) If you want to do this on a per-model level, use .store_in (This is for all threads):

class Band
  include Mongoid::Document
  store_in database: "secondary" # This can be any name you want, no need to put it in the mongoid.yml.
end

class Artist

HTMLBars serves as a polyfill for a native implement of node.bind.

Instead of letting the browser parse the HTML and generate nodes, which leaves us at the mercy of the limitations of the parser, HTMLBars implements an HTML parser and generates the nodes itself.

As HTMLBars generates the nodes, it calls into node.bind if it detects mustache syntax.
