There is a third way:

You can use:

	include "somefile"

anywhere and everywhere in a VCL program.

Before you start your varnishd, do this in a shell script:

	echo "\"$ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE_HOSTNAME\"" > /somewhere/hostname.vcl

Then in VCL:

	backend b0 {
		.host = include "/somewhere/hostname.vcl" ;
		.port 80
		...

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
