You can also send a hash to parameters which will add additional parameters to the varnish daemon via the -p option. The default hash is:

{
  'thread_pools' => '4',
  'thread_pool_min' => '5',
  'thread_pool_max' => '500',
  'thread_pool_timeout' => '300'
}

varnish_config 'default' do
  listen_address '0.0.0.0'
  listen_port 80
  storage 'malloc'
  malloc_percent 33
end
