No. There have been some thoughts about adding something for "get
backend info" in a future version, which would expose the IP address
among other things, but that's not available for now.

There may or may not be, depending on your needs.
You'll need VCL 4.1 if:
- You're using Unix domain sockets
- You have more than one listen address, and you want to use
local.socket and/or local.endpoint in VCL to tell them apart.
- You want to use sess.xid.
- You want to selectively disable ESIs in client responses, and
prefer to use resp.do_esi rather than req.esi for that.
The *.proto variables are read-only in 4.1; if you want to write to
them, you have to stay with 4.0.
beresp.storage_hint is still around in 4.0, not in 4.1, but you should
be using beresp.storage anyway.
AFAIK that's all of it.

Geoff
