Hi,
please note that for passing the correct X-Forwarded-For header to
your backend webserver you will need to unset the X-Forwarded-For
header in your VCL because any client-side squid will set the same
header resulting in a list of IP addresses contained in one single
X-Forwarded-For header.
sub vcl_recv {
# Remove incoming X-Forwarded-For header to let
# Varnish insert a new header useful for Apache logging
remove req.http.X-Forwarded-For;
[...]
}
Now you can perform any actions (on backend) based on the
setting of the X-Forwarded-For header.
Nevertheless you should ensure that you've configured this
specific file not to be cached in varnish by 'pass' it based on
a regular expression (url based) in your VCL, too.

Hi Andy,
Take a look at mod_extract_forwarded for Apache, this will help you.
Or mod_rpath does the same.
Just make sure you pass the correct X-Forwarded-For header in your VCL.

I have a file on my server that checks a user hasn't accessed it more
than 5 times in the past 5 minutes by saving the IP address of every
request. Since having varnish installed, the file is denying access to
everyone because for some reason the IP address that is being stored
is always my server IP. How would I make sure that requests to that
file pass the users IP address?
hope you can help?
