Varnish Cached Object Time

How can we get the the time of the cached object in varnish.

My requirement is something like, say if object is in cache for 5 mins and for a specified ip, I want to server the content from backend but not from cache.

You can setup your vcl so it will always miss when certain headers are set or when the request comes from a certain browser

in your vcl_recv set

sub vcl_recv {
if (req.http.Cache-Control ~ "no-cache" && client.ip ~ editors) {
     set req.hash_always_miss = true;
}

}
