Varnish to webserver or varnish to proxy to webserver?

My question is should I use varnish to proxy to multiple web servers such as
mongrel, etc *or* should I let varnish -> apache proxy to said servers? I
know that the latter will create another point of failure *but* this allows
me to have apache's vast amount of modules at hand.

Why use Apache if Varnish can do what you need?
