    Having said that, varnish is an excellent tool for these situations and it also works well if you decide to use a CDN later on. We use the combination of varnish (caching for dynamic content) and Cloudflare (caching for static assets) in a couple of production environments and using the relatively recent CDN-Cache-Control headers it's finally pretty easy to separate cache control headers of various different links in your proxy chain. Be aware that cache tagging requires an additional module (xkey vmod) which isn't always shipped with varnish packages. To help with cache invalidations you can also use tools like Varnish Broadcaster (commercial) or (shameless plug) varnish-towncrier which decouples cache invalidation calls from varnish and doesn't require your application to directly talk to each varnish instance.
