My bad, old example. Here’s one with (?i) case insensitivity and a rewrite rule.
if (req.url ~ "^/(.*)" && req.http.host ~ "(?i)www.example.ca" &&
req.http.user-agent ~ "(?i)iphone|htc|android|
ipod|lg9700|blackberry9|nokiae|nokian|docomo|netfront|palmos|ipod|lg9700|htc|opera
mini|palmsource|symbian OS|psp" && !req.http.referer ~ "(?i)example.ca") {
set req.http.newhost = regsub(req.url, "^/(.*)",
"http://richmobile.example.ca/\1";);
error 753 req.http.newhost;
}
if (obj.status == 753) {
set obj.http.Location = obj.response;
set obj.status = 302;
return(deliver);
}

We use the vcl_error redirect technique with success:
You can edit the example to suit different UAs and mobile views. The “no
referrer” is important, to prevent continuous redirects once we land on the
target site.
in vcl_recv
if (!req.http.referer && req.http.host ~ "www.example.ca" &&
req.http.user-agent ~ "[aA]ndroid|[bB]lack[Bb]erry|
DoCoMo|[iI][Pp]hone|NetFront|Opera Mini|PalmOS|PalmSource|Symbian
OS|webOS|Ipod|lg9700|nokiae|nokian|blackberry9|htc") {
error 751 "Moved Temporarily";
}
in vcl_error
if (obj.status == 751) {
set obj.http.Location = "http://richmobile.example.ca/";;
set obj.status = 302;
return(deliver);
}

Browser recognition is a royal pain to begin with, and even more so with mobile
browsers (their user agents may differ between requests in some cases).
I would suggest you move all of the browser/device detection logic to your
backend, but store the detected device in a cookie. If varnish sees a request
without that cookie, it redirects the user to a browser/device detection
backend (using wurfl or deviceatlas for detection), which again redirects to
the original page with an extra parameter in the URL which makes the final
destination set the cookie.
From there on, you can extract the device cookie with varnish and append it to
your varnish hash, as per
http://www.varnish-cache.org/trac/wiki/VCLExampleCacheCookies.
Of course, the browser detection backend URL must not be cached. :)

Hi,
Right now everything has been working great with this config, but we
discovered an issue with our mobile devices, not ever getting to the
apache redirect we setup to go to our mobile site, since it gets the
cached version of our home page. Is there a way to say if a mobile
device by agent to bypass caching all together and let it pass through
to the apache redirect which then goes to another site all together?
Thanks,
Mike
Here is my default.vcl
sub vcl_recv {
if (req.url ~ "^/$" || req.url ~ "^/samples"){
unset req.http.cookie;
return(lookup);
}
else {
return(pass);
}
}
sub vcl_fetch {
if (req.url ~ "^/$" || req.url ~ "^/samples"){
set beresp.ttl = 300s;
set beresp.http.cache-control = "public, max-age = 300";
set beresp.http.X-CacheReason = "varnishcache";
unset beresp.http.set-cookie;
return(deliver);
}
}
