Yep.  I did some more testing (fixed the backend.port bug!) and came
across at least one important issue which we discussed earlier this
week but didn't fix: hashing does not take the host into account, so
you can't stick Varnish in front of a server with multiple name-based
virtual hosts.

I believe that the way we want to fix this is by URL normalization:
the URL we store in struct http should be a cleaned-up absolute URI.
This can either be done unconditionally in http_Dissect() or
CacheWorker(), or as a matter of policy in vcl_recv().

(BTW, I don't like using the rr argument to http_Dissect() to
distinguish between request and response; I'd rather have separate
functions for each, with a common helper for the headers; but that's
picking nits)
