Yes. Most likely there is an issue with some cookie being set by the
backend thereby disabling caching. You might want to have a look at one of
the following:
 - Using Varnish, a tutorial -
https://www.varnish-cache.org/docs/3.0/tutorial/index.html - it has a
chapter on "why doesn't Varnish cache my site"
 - The Varnish Book -  https://www.varnish-software.com/static/book/
