How to redirect on specific url - Varnish?

Sorry, I'm new to Varnish.

I'm trying bunch of stuff in my /etc/varnish/mysite.vlc but can't make it work.

I want to redirect on specific url to another url. Example: If someone access http://mysite1/thepage1.xml it should go to http://mysite2/thepage2.xml

varnishd -V
varnishd (varnish-3.0.5 revision 1a89b1f)

Any help would be appreciated.
