Hey Mark,

Thanks for contacting us regarding this request.  IUS has a different
purpose than EPEL.  EPEL provides only packages not provided by RHEL,
while IUS  provides only new versions of packages provided by RHEL.  See
the following FAQs:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#How_is_EPEL_different_from_other_third_party_repositories_for_RHEL_and_derivatives.3F

http://iuscommunity.org/pages/FAQs.html?highlight=epel#what-is-it-not

Unfortunately, varnish would not be a good fit for IUS.

Title:
  varnish30

Status in IUS Community Project:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  EPEL 5 has varnish 2.0 .
  EPEL 6 has varnish 2.1 .

  Since EPEL can't break backwards compatibility, they'll remain on that
  version.  The EPEL maintainer has a newer version in git
  (http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/varnish.git/), I've modified it to
  work with the yum replace plugin.
