Functions in backend variables interpretted literally

[Chris Topher (redacted)]

Hi there

I used dynamically named servers on EC2, my varnish bootstrap setup configures the vcl according to the server name e.g.
i-f2dd2d2f

Varnish doesn't like the hyphen in the back end name, so I replace it out, fair enough:
if2dd2d2f

Now it fails because the back end server name has the function 'if' in it!

I now replace this out to:
lol2dd2d2f

I think it may be a bug that the 'if' function is interpreted in a back end variable definition like this.
