Is the only way to add more Varnish servers and load balance them behind Nginx or some such?
Your loadbalancer (varnish, nginx, elb, haproxy, etc) will always be a limiting factor if all traffic only goes through that path.
I haven't followed the rest of the thread to know where your real bottleneck is, but just keep that in mind. ;)
Your next alternatives (this looks like you're @ AWS) would be ELB in front of varnish (which I do, but with mixed success), or a GSLB (dns based loadbalancing) service in the DNS adding an additional level of seperation. (we use akadns and I have lots of praises and no complaints yet. :)
