Every time I attempt to add an extra back end into our VCL file, it's fails.

Here is the DAEMON_OPTS we are running off:

DAEMON_OPTS="-a :80 \ -T localhost:6082 \ -f /etc/varnish/custom.vcl \ -u varnish -g varnish \ -S /etc/varnish/secret \ -s malloc,10G"

And here is the offending backend(s)

backend default { .host = "114.123.456.789"; .port = "8080"; }

backend alt { .host = "203.123.456.789"; .port = "80"; }

Any Ideas ? Gut feeling is it might need the backends to be set somewhere, but I'm not sure where.
