 Cheers,

 On our infrastructure we have a reverse-proxy/connection multiplexer
 (Juniper DX3600) in front of our varnish cluster.

 Today I was trying to figure out why the X-Forwarded-For our backend
 servers were getting was not including the original client's ip...

 After some debugging I discovered that Varnish was in fact ignoring the
 previously existing X-Forwarded-For header and adding a new one of its
 own...

 I have attached the output of 1 request taken from "varnishlog -b" and as
 you can see, on line 13 we have the X-Forwarded-For header coming from the
 DX and on line 15 the one varnish added.

 I don't think this is the expected behaviour...

 Thanks in advance.
