varnish+nginx manager login issue

Hi,

I am using the latest 2.2.10 revo release for a few site. Today I moved them to a new server.
I can not log in to the manager area, because of caching (varnish).

After some googling i found this link: http://www.goldcoastmedia.co.uk/blog/varnish-caching-with-modx
and tried to configure varnish following the instructions of section "domain based" caching.

But it seems that placing the following lines:

if (req.http.host ~ "(www)?(modxwebsite|anotherwebsite).co.uk") {
return(pass);
}

to vcl_recv (/etc/varnish/default.vcl) section not works. The domains will not be excuded after restart varnish service.

I can browse pages and go to manager url, but when i fill username and pw fields and click on login button, only get the login form back.

For the first step it would be enough if i could turn off caching completly on those virtual hosts which belongs to modx installations.

I would like to use varnish for other domains on the machine, that is why i would not turn it off globally.

Any idea?

I'm using: ubuntu 12.04 64bit, nginx/1.1.19, varnishd (varnish-3.0.4 revision 9f83e8f)

Thanks,

Daniel
