 Replying to [comment:3 slink]:

 are free to delete or change.

 But this change basically hides the original XFF header from VCL. I have a
 similar situation where our varnish servers are behind Amazon's load
 balancer. We don't need or want the ELB's IP in XFF header.

 Anyway I added this to the vcl_recv to undo what Varnish does beforehand:


 {{{
   if (req.restarts == 0 && req.http.x-forwarded-for) {
     set req.http.X-Forwarded-For = regsub(req.http.x-forwarded-for,
 "^(.*),([^,]+)$", "\1");
   }
 }}}
