OK What about this, at the expense of an additional GET :

<VirtualHost www.foo.bar>
   RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE}   MYCOOKIE
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://cache.foo.bar$1 [P]

   ProxyPassReverse  / http://cache.foo.bar/

   ProxyPass / http://backend.foo.bar/ 
   ProxyPassReverse  / http://backend.foo.bar/
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost cache.foo.bar>
   ProxyPass / http://backend.foo.bar/ 
   ProxyPassReverse  / http://backend.foo.bar/

   CacheEnable /
</VirtualHost>

I don't think that will work reliably. Although it will prevent requests with 
the cookie set from being cached, it will not prevent responses for non-cookie 
users being served to cookie users. This is because mod_cache runs as a 
quick-handler, before mod_rewrite has had a chance to run.
