Thanks. The reason Varnish is doing this is because the backend asks it to
do so. Check out this line:

Vary: Accept-Encoding, Accept-Encoding, Cookie, Accept-Language

If you google "http vary" you'll find some nice explanations on how it
works. With that Vary line you'll never get a high hit rate.
