<div dir="ltr">I think you need to set each varnish server as a backend, and then hash the URL to a backend (that is a varnish server). If the backend matches the current varnish server serving the request then you use the real backend (origin). I am not sure the details of the setup, but Artur from Fastly said they do something similar in their setup maybe one of the Fastly guys or someone else can comment on how this is done ?<div>

Setups like these have been discussed on <a href="http://www.varnish-cache.org/lists/mailman/listinfo/varnish-misc/" target="_blank">varnish-misc</a> several times and implementing it should be fairly simple." <br><br>

Is there anything I'm missing, or does someone have a reference on how to set this up? Any help is appreciated. <br>
