I tried a config like this on 0.8.6 and I found that all requests ended 
up going to the @application proxy, skipping the @varnish proxy 
entirely. Am I doing something wrong?

Here's a sample of my config:

upstream varnishservers
{
  server 10.1.1.1:80;
}


upstream originservers
{
  server 10.1.1.2:80;
  server 10.1.1.2:80;
}

server
{
     listen       8080;
  server_name _;
  server_name_in_redirect  off;

    location /
  {
    try_files @vanish @origin;
  }
  location @varnish
  {
    proxy_pass http://varnishservers;
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_connect_timeout 3;
    proxy_next_upstream error timeout;
  }

  location @origin
  {
    proxy_pass http://originservers;
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_connect_timeout 3;
    proxy_next_upstream error timeout;
  }

}

Thanks!
