This setup works for me.

########### default.vcl
vcl 4.0;

import std;

include "/etc/varnish/backends.vcl"; # the backends

sub vcl_recv {

     if (req.url ~ "^/229") {
       set req.backend_hint = Kunde_02_port_9001;
     }

}

sub vcl_backend_fetch {

     if (bereq.url ~ "^/229") {
       set bereq.url = "<UPSTREAM-URL>";
       set bereq.http.authorization = "Basic <The-Password-Encoded>";
       return (fetch);
     }
}
