ESI processing external URL

[Roberto O. Fernández Crisial]

Have you tried to create a particular backend for "example.com" hostname and process request as ESI forwarded to that backend?

I use (no ESI handle) a subdomain for images and send the requeste to original webserver (outside Varnish environment

ESI is handled like any other request, and thus goes to the backend specified
by your vcl.

You need to add VCL to handle that particular hostname.
