Can we clarify exactly why? My understanding is that varnish is a web accelerator for a /website/, and in practice it will only cache for a single domain. It can't be setup to cache for all domains.
Short version: Varnish needs you to *predefine*, as backends, every domain you want to cache for.
I can imagine you can get around this by using a varnish + squid pair, but the performance would be unacceptable for an ISP. Not to mention that fact that making varnish highly available and distributed is a lot of work on its own.
Varnish + squid is doable, then the squid installation would be Varnish' one and only backend, which in turn resolves and caches ad hoc. I have no idea how this would perform, but it would give you the combined flexibility of both products.
