I mentioned varnish-2.0.3, i don't think varnishadm has it's ow version 
number?
Telnet works! I thought I had tried it..
Returns a _massive_ list.
Any ref. on how to interpret what I see?

Hey! Wait!
This time of night I can restart varnish and guess what?
varnishadm purge.list started working!

Must have been something in that list.
We pass 90% of traffic here, so far. Perhaps related?


another matter:
purge <field> <operator> <arg> [&& <field> <oper> <arg>]...
I can't seem to find any info on how to use this.
