Hi,

Have a look at varnishtest for faking it, you can make your backends
reply with a hardcoded header and check that on the client side.

See the documentation at the bottom:
https://www.varnish-cache.org/docs/4.0/reference/vmod_directors.generated.html#backend-hash-backend-string-list

The hash director doesn't rely on client.identity anymore, but on
whatever you want to use to route the traffic.
