Fixed, nice catch.

You can achieve this with varnishtop: 

varnishtop -i TxURL

It'll list all backend requests and sort by which is most frequently
requested. Fairly useful.

This is realtime, though, so it'll have to keep running. If we want a
script to gather this data over time, it'll essentially be the same as
varnishtop but a daemon of sorts. So far, I've settled with varnishtop.
