Connecting to remote host

[Guillaume Quintard]

Note: please keep the mailing list CC'd

Check the host header you are sending to the backend. Usually, a 404 arises
because the URL and/or the host wrong.

I'm thinking you possibly tested varnish requesting something like
http://localhost/your/test/file, but your backend isn't configured to reply
to the "localhost" host
