The idea is two use a two level cache lookup.

The first level is done using original cache_key.
The associated cache zone will contain the Vary header specified when
backend response is cached.

The second level is done using cache_key updated with request headers
specified in Vary header.


This is just an idea, I was curious to know if adding support to Vary
header is possible with current implementation.
