Varnish 3.0.3 Typo3 and Amazon ELB

[Alexander Diedler]

Hello,
We have an HA-Setup with 3 seperated Typo3 Hostingservers, that are fronted by Varnish 3.0.3 and a Loadbalancer in Front of the two Varnish servers.
Now we are thinking, the Varnish does not cache enough, more content will be loaded from the webservers.
Some of the problems is about the Typo3 Backend users, that must set a cookie, but for the "stateless" loadbalancing we unset the cookies. So we need some help for the configuration for stable environment.
Can somebody help us?

Out Cache Settings:
backend nginx {
        .host = "10.0.0.10";
        .port = "80";
    }

    sub vcl_recv {
        if (req.http.x-forwarded-for) {
            set req.http.X-Forwarded-For =
            req.http.X-Forwarded-For + ", " + client.ip;
        } else {
            set req.http.X-Forwarded-For = client.ip;
        }

        set req.backend = nginx;

        if (req.request == "POST") {

            set req.http.X-Test = req.url;
