best configuration for varnish and multiple IPs and vhosts?

[Martin Boer]

We've been using option nr.1 for over half a year now.
It works fine.

The reason we do it this way is that for all of our HTTP sites we have a 
HTTPS one as well.
Pound handles the HTTPS sites of things and Varnish does the HTTP part.

Regards,
Martin
