Using varnish with File instead of malloc

hi, I am planning to use Varnish as edge routers where Large media files 40
MB to 400 MB served. there are around 100 files at one time shd be cached.

I am thinking to tune varnish for using File as cache instead of malloc ?
since disk space is cheap than RAM.

2nd, I think we cannot run same varnish with different Cache type(File,
Malloc) depends on backend or url .. (may be i am wrong)

any suggestion ?

You can specify which stevedore to use in VCL by setting beresp.storage.
