Comment (by david):

 This behavior makes it basically impossible to determine your actual
 request cache hit/miss ratio. I understand the logic behind the
 behavior, but I think it's nearly useless in any real-world scenario.
 Because of this behavior I cannot implement the VCL I provided here
 because of the "invalid" hit ratio numbers I get from varnishstat. The
 whole point of this VCL is to increase my hit ratio by serving banned
 users a cached "you're banned" page. Instead of increasing the hit ratio,
 it was dropped to 1/10th of what it was.

 If you intend to keep this behavior, I'm done complaining, but I at
 least think changing this is worth considering and discussing. If an
 upcoming version has a way to check two hashes in one request without
 restarting then I can certainly wait for that.

 Regards,
