We don't do this on a permanent basis, but on a number of occasions we have, when moving a service from one machine to another remote one. We set up the service on the new machine, sync everything, then tell Varnish to forward everything to new remote backend, then we flip the DNS switch. In that scenario we are essentially using Varnish to cover us while DNS converges. We've never had to adjust any timeout values, though we are on decent networks.
