It would be great to see an indepth walkthrough of setting up Varnish with a basic Rails app. And maybe show how ESI could work... :D

Yeah, I've done some ESI work here and there but largely in a exploratory/prototyping fashion; nothing that's seen the light of day in a production system. I would like the opportunity to do it, though. For one client, we prototyped a system that relied on Varnish with ESI, fully caching some of the documents pulled in from ESI, with a specialized "purge daemon" setting between the appserver and Varnish that would issue purge commands to Varnish in response to state changes that necessitated refreshing the cached documents. This meant that the document pulled in through ESI would have no cache expiry, and would get purged only when a change necessitated it.

But, since it didn't ever go into production, there's not much data to share about it. And it wasn't in Rails, it was in a wildly-customized Interchange. :)
