<p class="MsoNormal">Hi there</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I used dynamically named servers on EC2, my varnish bootstrap setup configures the vcl according to the server name e.g.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">i-f2dd2d2f</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Varnish doesn’t like the hyphen in the back end name, so I replace it out, fair enough:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">if2dd2d2f</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Now it fails because the back end server name has the function ‘if’ in it!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I now replace this out to:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">lol2dd2d2f</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I think it may be a bug that the ‘if’ function is interpreted in a back end variable definition like this.</p>
