varnishhist stats

[Sam Crawford]

By default Varnish will not cache requests with cookies set, or with
authentication provided. Looking at your VCL config, it looks like
you've already accounted for this.

What makes you think that authentication sessions (i.e. cookies) are
being cached?

Thanks,

Sam
