Ah, yes, I *am* a moron. Not least for not reading the whole wiki page which 
contains the same syntax typo (http://www.varnish-cache.org/trac/wiki/Purging 
under Syntax of bans). Reading it to the end might have made me suspect the 
initail typo.

It was the composite I was originally going for and now, thanks to your 
enlightenment, I have it:

varnishadm -T localhost:6082 'purge req.http.host ~ group.bmj.com && req.url ~ 
^/repository/bp-bundles/.*'


I shall adjust my documentation accordingly. I did just register at 
varnish-cache.org to see if I could update the Wiki but either I don't have the 
privs or I don't have the Brane(TM).

No. It works exactly as quoted.

Thanks again,

Alex.
