proxy_pass to backend (varnish): delivered ip?

Hey,

thx for the fast answer :-)

But why? The only difference is the proxy_pass statement:

proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:80;
vs.
proxy_pass http://192.168.0.1:80;

No other changes were done, and no changes in varnish config.

Hm, would be interesting which param varnish checks. It can't be
$remote_addr, so it has to be the address nginx proxies to (127.0.01 or
192.168.0.1). Very strange. So it seems to be a varnish problem? :-/
