Random "Data not received" with Varnish behind ELB

[Greg Taylor]

We managed to find what appears to be one of these failed requests:

2014-10-22T15:47:56.092374Z littlepeople 68.115.251.182:45368 - -1 -1 -1
408 0 0 0 "GET http://littlepeople.pathwright.com:80/ HTTP/1.1"

Says request timeout. I've got my ELB timeout set to 6 seconds, and
varnish's default idle_timeout is 10s. I have also added this:

sub vcl_pipe {
    # Don't re-use backend connections.
    set bereq.http.Connection = "close";
}

None of this seems to have made any difference, though. Any further ideas
on how to handle this?
