Hello,

There are better ways to do this, but not out of the box with Varnish
Cache. You would need something like
https://code.uplex.de/uplex-varnish/varnish-objvar/ to index ACLs by
host names.

With Varnish Enterprise, you can manage this out of the box with the
combination of built-in modules vmod_aclplus and vmod_kvstore.

https://docs.varnish-software.com/varnish-cache-plus/vmods/kvstore/

Feel free to reach out to me directly to discuss the Varnish
Enterprise solution with you.

Best Regards,
Dridi
