If you have a short-ish list of URLs, you can simply test for them:

	sub vcl_recv {
		if (req.url ~ "(foo.html|bar.html|baz.html)") {
			pass;
		}
	}

If the list is long-ish, consider having the webserver mark them
as non-cacheable by adding a HTTP header varnish can check for
instead.  That way the knowledge about cacheability is maintained
with the content.

Of course, you can also mix the two methods...
