Short version: Varnish needs you to *predefine*, as backends, every 
domain you want to cache for.

Varnish + squid is doable, then the squid installation would be Varnish' 
one and only backend, which in turn resolves and caches ad hoc. I have 
no idea how this would perform, but it would give you the combined 
flexibility of both products.
