Excerpts from Jim Hayter's message of 2013-01-28 13:38:02 -0800:

The problem is that with a CDN and nginx in front of varnish, client.ip does not contain the appropriate IP.  The originating IP is available in one of the request headers.  Is there a way to convince varnish to compare the originating IP with the ACL?

Here's something I found on the subject:
