What is the basis for using Varnish as opposed to just serving up with 
Twisted directly?

Perhaps you should point out just exactly where and when you're 
experiencing problems with URL rewrites. I've never experienced any of 
these problems deploying either with a simple reverse proxy or the 
VHostMonstorResource. It used to be a problem specifically with Guard 
but these issues seem to have dissolved over the current versions.
