well if varnish connects to the "HTTP 1.x 200 OK" server
first it has no problem what so ever delivering the result.

but if it hits a 500 first....well.....

im pretty shure that its my vcl configs that are buggy
and that this has nothing to do with the backend.

but anyways. i am out of cloues, so ill setup another testsystem
to validate the results i got out of the primary testsetup.
