Recent versions of varnish can use DNS servers for backends. Even if you cannot use SRV records, you can always setup a separate DNS server with the "backend" addresses. Some setups use a hack with load balancers where you can use the SAME IP address for the varnish and the "backend" server, making caching almost transparent.
