Ah, the problem must be that the matching is case sensitive, I can reproduce with with curl.

Fails: curl http://lists.FreeBSD.org/mailman/listinfo

Works: curl http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo

I guess many modern browsers simply make the hostname lowercase in the request, and that's why I haven't noticed the problem before.

realcgi.sky.freebsd.org is, AFAIR, the fallback backend the varnish proxy goes to if it does not matches another hostname.

Thanks!

I will try and get it fixed later today.
