You can log the varnish request in the Apache logs with something like:

LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"
%D %{Host}i %A \"%{X-Varnish}i\""  combined

I was referring to the varnishlog output.  You can replay a request with
something like:

varnishlog -r /var/log/varnish/varnish.log -c -o TxHeader 264247211

As for storage, all I can tell you is what we do - store both, rotate
daily or weekly, and keep historically as appropriate.
