Hi Tranxène50
I'm a reseller of Fastly in France a cdn based on a fork of varnish 2
maybe it could be a solution to minimize the backend traffic you receive 
somehow ?
i can make you test if needed
akamai has a solution they call waiting room, to regulate the traffic to the 
origin,
i think this is the kind of things to try to achieve ?
Best Regards,
Damien
