I'm not very happy about "req.backend.name", it is *very* magic and not
general to any other backend anywhere else in VCL.

The real fix would be to allow standardized (ie: builtin) methods on the
VCL_* types themselves, so that one could do things like


	$backend.ip()
	$backend.name() 

etc.

Implementing it will take some VCC hacking
