On a RHEL5 machine:
(the DAEMON var in the initscript is set to varnishncsa-hack because
its a havcked version that writes the host header, just replace it
with varnishncsa, presto! :)

I have this logrotate conf:

[kovalski at 175384-proxy1 ~]$ cat /etc/logrotate.d/varnish
/var/log/varnish/varnish.log {
    daily
    missingok
    notifempty
    sharedscripts
    postrotate
        /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/varnish/varnishlog.pid
2>/dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true
    endscript
}

And this init script:

[kovalski at 175384-proxy1 ~]$ cat /etc/init.d/varnishlog
#! /bin/sh
#
# varnishlog    Control the varnish HTTP accelerator logging daemon
#
# chkconfig: - 90 10
# description: HTTP accelerator logging daemon
# processname: varnishlog
# config:
# pidfile: /var/run/varnish/varnishlog.pid

# Source function library.
. /etc/init.d/functions

RETVAL=0
PROCNAME=varnishlog

DAEMON="/usr/bin/varnishncsa-hack"
PIDFILE="/var/run/varnish/varnishlog.pid"
LOCKFILE="/var/lock/subsys/varnishlog"
LOGFILE="/var/log/varnish/varnish.log"

DAEMON_OPTS="-c -a -w ${LOGFILE} -D -P $PIDFILE"

mkdir -p /var/run/varnish 2>/dev/null

# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
  start)
        echo -n "Starting varnish logging daeon: "
        daemon --pidfile $PIDFILE $DAEMON "$DAEMON_OPTS"
        sleep 1
        pkill -0 $PROCNAME
        RETVAL=$?
        if [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ]
        then
                echo_success
                touch $LOCKFILE
        else
                echo_failure
        fi
        echo
        ;;
  stop)
        echo -n "Stopping varnish logging daemon: "
        killproc -p $PIDFILE $DAEMON
        RETVAL=$?
        if [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ]
        then
                echo_success
                rm -f $LOCKFILE $PIDFILE
        else
                echo_failure
        fi
        echo
        ;;
  status)
        status -p $PIDFILE $PROCNAME
        RETVAL=$?
        ;;
  restart|reload)
        $0 stop
        $0 start
        RETVAL=$?
        ;;
  condrestart)
        if [ -f $PIDFILE ]; then
            $0 stop
            $0 start
            RETVAL=$?
        fi
        ;;
  *)
        echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|status|restart|condrestart}"
        exit 1
esac

exit $RETVAL
