Hi DES,

At the moment that I sent this email I caught the issue. The solution
is to NOT use 127.0.0.1 but to use the NameVirtualHost 189.129.5.82 in
the default.vcl.

This works for me:

backend default {
set backend.host = "189.129.5.82";
set backend.port = "8080";
}

Thanks again DES for helping me pull my head out of the sand "or where
ever it was;)
