Server setup: Ubuntu 12.10, Varnish 3.0.2, Nginx 1.3.14, with a WordPress 3.5.1 install.
We are using the "Random Redirect" plugin which shows a random blog post at the URL http://example.com/?random
I would like to set Varnish to not cache the above URL, since currently the "random" post keeps showing the same post.
A specific snippet to show what to put in default.vcl would be super helpful. Thanks.

Putting the following block in vcl_recv should do it:
if ( req.url ~ "^/?random" ) {
return (pass);
}
When you return(pass), you will jump past the opportunity to look up the request in the cache.
The default behavior is to do a bunch of tests to see if it is likely that the content is dynamic (does it set cookies, does it require authentication, is it a POST-request, things like that) - if none of those conditions are met, Varnish falls back to return(lookup)

I tried almost the exact code before posting my question and it didn't work. I tried your code and it also didn't work.

The double quotes do compile correctly, but the random link stay the same for me still.

I forgot to add escaping of the ?, since it was interpreted as a part of the regular expression. Again, sorry about that.
