Testing grace
=============

1. Set up two web servers (already done)
2. Normally, Varnish should balance between both
3. For /cgi-bin/, make Varnish always use Apache
4. Test the test.cgi script wit the sleep-statement
5. Make test.cgi cache, either by editing the script or forcing it in
   Varnish
6. Make both /grace/test.cgi and /nograce/test.cgi rewrite to
   /cgi-bin/test.cgi
7. Set req.grace = 30s for /grace/test.cgi and req.grace = 0s for
   /nograce/test.cgi

Both /nograce/test.cgi and /grace/test.cgi should now function identically
if accessed once at a time.

Try executing two requests at the same time to both /grace/test.cgi and
/nograce/test.cgi . For /nograce/test.cgi, both requests should sleep,
while for /grace/test.cgi, the second request should finish fast.

8. Add a conditional 2 hour grace period if the selected backend is sick,
   and test /grace and /nograce again, first with both web servers up, and
   then with Apache disabled.
