Ahh, that gets trick if you are running a version before we enabled that.

How much IE6 traffic do you have ?

If it is not too much, you could simply pass it.

If it is too much for that, one dirty workaround is to define
yourself as a backend, and send all IE6 to pass with yourself
as backend, that way you get a cache-hit, but can use vcl_fetch
on the pass transaction to nuke the connection closed header.
