rewriterules

I have a Drupal site that uses Varnish. I am trying to redirect people that come to a url starting with /node when they view the site via Varnish.

I have tried the following in the .htaccess file but it gives 500 errors.

RewriteCond %{HTTP:Via} =1.1 varnish
RewriteRule ^node / [R=301,NC,L]

I haven't been able to find anything using google in relation to how to target the 'Via' section of a header.

Cheers, Paul
