Sorry. I was a bit tired when I wrote earlier an steered you wrong.

The archive patch will ony help for things which can be cached in the
first place. Vary:* is not part of that set so this wont help you at all.

That leaves you with the option of using a multi-level cache hierarchy
where the frontend cache removes the header (causing the backend cache /
client to try and store it.

Or removing all of Squids Vary header support. I really dont recommend
either approach.
