If I remember correctly, Varnish by default will use the standard HTTP headers to cache the content. This is my preferred way "configuring" Varnish. I like letting the app decide how to cache it's content rather than putting a bunch of special rules in VCL. Some people strip out the cache headers once it hits Varnish, but I prefer to let the user agents cache the resources locally and use Varnish as a stop-gap for the misbehaving user agents. As with everything, YMMV
