Varnish 3.0.3 http error

[Jason Heffner]

I didn't actually look too closely to the tcpdump till a few minutes later and noticed the issue is caused by jetpack. I got a ticket open with them now. I can see why Varnish decided to throw a 503.

I also contacted the jetpack developers since it is their plugin returning the HTTP error from apache on the backend. If varnish is taken out of the setup the 302 redirect returned from apache functions properly. I can recreate the issue on a development system, and all other page loads are fine.
